SS Great Britain was an advanced passenger steamship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company. One of the most interesting features of Brunel's design for SS Great Britain was the "balanced" rudder. This was much less effort for the ship's crew to handle when steering the ship. A modern rudder works in exactly the same way as Brunel's balanced rudder.
