The ss Great Britain - an Object in Stasis: Space, Place & Materiality, 1886 – 2015. James Muirhead A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, School of Humanities, September 2016 Word Count: 82,863 i Abstract This thesis explores the ss Great Britain ‘an object in stasis’ from the period of 1886 to 2016. This broad categorisation of the vessel as an object in ‘stasis’ is used as a linguistic means of demarcating the end of the Great Britain’s life as an ocean-going vessel. Yet, this classification of the Great Britain as an object in stasis arguably does very little to reflect the complexity of the ship’s ‘post-functional’ life. As this thesis will demonstrate, the Great Britain has been subject to a vast array of fluid re-imaginings from 1886 onwards. These categorisations and the manner in which the Great Britain has dynamically interacted with its surrounding environment has had a profound influence upon the human actors who sought to classify and negotiate the vessel as material object. While axiomatic to suggest, the Great Britain has embodied divergent roles in the span of the 130 years this study encompasses, yet this study is primarily concerned with the effects of location, rather than temporality in determining the manner in which these roles unfolded. This thesis engages with literatures of space, place and materiality in order to consider the Great Britain’s influence within varying locations and will consequently consider the time the vessel spent in the landscape of the Falkland Islands - as representational and symbolic artefact in 1960s Britain - the contested urban environment of Bristol to which the ship returned in July 1970 before finally, in the concluding chapter, turning to the ship’s role as a centre-piece of a modern day heritage attraction in 2016. In engaging with the Great Britain’s afterlife over this long chronological span and through a detailed consideration of the vessel’s various locations this thesis will aim to demonstrate that the Great Britain was not only an object of economic and commercial utility but also a centre of meaning and can be demonstrated as having influenced human behaviour as a material object. This thesis principally aims to engage with heritage literatures that address the implications of commercialisation on sites of cultural heritage and museums and while acknowledging these influences it will demonstrate that more dynamic and subtle processes are at work in these same locations. ii Dedication and Acknowledgements I owe considerable gratitude to both the individuals and organisations that supported me throughout this project. I would firstly like to acknowledge the gracious support of the AHRC, University of Bristol and ss Great Britain Trust for their financial support during the course of this project without which this work would not have been possible. Thank you to Dr. James Thompson, for generously giving of his time to talk to me about the challenges of PhD study before I embarked on the project and kindly reviewing my application for the CDA. Also a thank you to the University of Bristol, and both the Library and the administrative staff for all their kind and considerate assistance. Thank you to my supervisor at the ss Great Britain, Deputy Chief Executive Rhian Tritton and Chief Executive Matthew Tanner for the opportunity to pursue the project and their support in bringing it to its completion. Thank you also to Eleni Papavasileiou and Joanna Thomas for access to the Trust’s archives and helping source documentary material and the rest of the staff at the ss Great Britain Trust for making me feel so welcome throughout the course of the PhD I am grateful to those such as Graeme Pascoe who shared their work prior to publication and signposted some fascinating source material. I am also grateful to those who have given me an opportunity to share aspects of the story of the ship’s afterlife work in conference papers. Thank you to my upgrade examiners, Dr Helen Doe and Dr Hugh Pemberton, and my final examiners, Dr Rob Lambert and Dr Erika Hanna. Your comments have greatly improved the quality of my work. Thank you to the staff in the libraries and archives who provided access and answered my enquiries: Of particular note Tansy Newman in the Jane Cameron archives in Stanley whose expert assistance allowed me to explore the often neglected story of the Great Britain’s life in the Falklands and Leona Roberts of the Falkland Islands Museum. Thanks also to the staff at the Bristol Record Office. Thank you to all those in the Falkland Islands who agreed to be interviewed, including Ronnie Clark, Willie Bowles, Howie Peck, John Smith, Tony Carey, Eric Goss, Gerald iii Cheek, Derek Howett, Jan Cheek, Les Harris, Ian Strange and Jill Harris. Your wonderful memories of the ship enriched the project immeasurably. I also appreciate the kindness with which you indulged my occasionally curious line of questioning, inviting me into your homes and the endless cups of tea you provided. I could spend an entire page listing the numerous acts of generosity and goodwill that characterised my trip to the Falklands but I instead I will limit myself to highlighting two particular moments that stood out. Jill Harris’ forwarding of some wonderful photographs of the Great Britain in the Islands which allowed a unique, personal perspective on the ship in the Islands and Willie Bowles, for taking considerable time out of his day to photocopy documents he thought may have been of interest. Due to being at work, Willie was unable to hand them over in person but called me up to tell me he left them in the front seat of his unlocked Landover and, in an extremely casual manner, suggested I just pick them up from the vehicle on my way in to the archive that morning. This incident stands out both in terms of personal kindness and in reflecting the close community bond Falkland Islanders share. Without detracting from the academic insight offered, I hope something of my affection towards the Islands and the individuals within is reflected in the thesis. I also cannot thank my work colleagues in Teaching Leaders, and in particular, Kayode Lewis, Milena Lasheras-Mass and Antoinette Guest enough. Your kindness, positivity and ability to be supportive and wonderful people pulled me through a particularly difficult time in my life. This piece of work could not have been completed without you and thank you to indulging me when I pedantically explained the fundamental differences between a boat and a ship on more than one occasion. I also benefitted enormously through being lucky enough to have wonderful supervisors in Professor’s Peter Coates and Tim Cole. Their patience, good humour, unfaltering support and insightful academic observations were fundamental in the completion of this thesis. Never too busy to assist or lend a kind word both my supervisors have been absolute models of calm, thoughtful consistency, even when I struggled. I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to both their timely interventions and personal encouragement during what was, at times, a very demanding chapter in my life. Finally a word to my Mum and Dad, from an early age you taught me the value of education and the instilled in me the resilience to see things through to their conclusion. You caught me iv at my lowest ebb and helped build me back up to in order to finally submit this piece of work. I regard this PhD as just as much yours as it is mine. v Author's Declaration I declare that the work in this dissertation was carried out in accordance with the requirements of the University’s Regulations and Code of Practice for Research Degree Programmes and that it has not been submitted for any other academic award. Except where indicated by specific reference in the text, the work is the candidate's own work. Work done in collaboration with, or with the assistance of, others, is indicated as such. Any views expressed in the dissertation are those of the author. SIGNED DATE: 09/09/2016 vi List of Figures Fig.

The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.
