Happy Birthday To One of the Worlds Greatest Engineers

Happy Birthday today to Isambard Kingdom Brunel who was born 202 years ago and brought us such wonders as:

  • The first underwater tunnel.
  • The first Transatlantic Paddle Wheeled Ship.
  • A whole list of many novel and interesting bridges that are still in use today.
  • Pre-fabricated Military Hospitals.
  • More Railroads than you can shake a stick at.
