The tidal range of the Avon would cause ships that were anchored
in the harbour to rest on the river bed when the water ran back
toward the sea and in turn cause damage to the timber. This
resulted in improved shipbuilding in Bristol, with builders using
top quality materials, special techniques and sturdy
craftsmanship that they became famous for. One of Bristol's
most famous sons, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, played a major role in
solving the tidal problem by helping with the designing and
constructions of the floating harbour system, which locks water
in the central harbour and allowed ships to stay afloat at all
times. This system is still in use today.
One of his most famous feats though was the designing of the
magnificent ss Great Britain, which was the first iron-hulled,
propeller-driven ship to sail across the Atlantic after its
launch in 1843. Once you have secured your Cheap Car
