THE SS GREAT BRITAIN
THE SS GREAT BRITAIN
The SS Great Britain has a long history and
throughout its illustrious voyages on the waves it
has witnessed some tragic events. Many ghosts have
made their home aboard this ship. Captain John
Gray is said to be the most famous and his hobnail
boots are heard scratching on the ship’s deck. It is
rumoured that Captain Gray committed suicide by
jumping out of his cabin window.
Days before the ship was re-launched in 2005
several workers on the Promenade Deck saw the
ghostly figure of a woman and when she was
approached she merely vanished. The voices and
crying of children have been heard echoing through
the ship and people have seen the ghostly visions of
a young sailor, who apparently fell from the rigging
to his death, and Mr and Mrs Cohen, a couple who
died during their voyage to Alaska.
