ARTE showed a quite nice 2-part documentary about ocean liners a few years ago, beginning in the 1840ies with Brunel&#x27;s SS Great Britain. Unfortunately I could only find links to a German version:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=w5O1GIzNsFc">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=w5O1GIzNsFc</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=h7W2L0RuO3c">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=h7W2L0RuO3c</a>
