"Out of all the tourist attractions that I have visited over this summer the ss Great Britain has been the most Deaf and Disability aware.
Thank you for all your efforts in making our visit more enjoyable." Natalie Coles, RNID |
Brunel’s ss Great Britain is one of the most accessible historic ships in the world.
The ss Great Britain Trust has won three national awards for access.
- There is lift access into the dry dock, the Dockyard Museum and on board the ss Great Britain.
- On the ss Great Britain there is lift access in the funnel to all decks.
- The lifts can accommodate one person in a wheelchair and one assistant, or three people standing.
- There are disabled toilets in the Dockyard Museum, on the ship and by the Dockyard Cafe Bar.
“The Access Association has been impressed with the level of commitment to resolving access issues within this historic dockyard.”
Eamonn McClelland, President of the Access Association
