POPS
The Last Victorian Leviathan Steam Ship
Aribeth
by Aribeth  8-16-2008    3
 Alas, the end of the Eastern came with more of a whimper than bang. After suffering far too many accidents, and far too many money troubles, the Eastern passed from one hand to another until eventually the largest ship in the Victorian world came to a humiliating end, first as a floating billboard in Liverpool and then finally broken up and sold as scrap. - It took two full years just to dismantle this ship (gives you an idea how big it was). - A mysterious dead body was found inside the special double hull (one can only imagine the desperate story of that stowaway...) At least Brunel didn't see the sad and pathetic end to his magnificent Great Eastern, though he didn't live to see its majesty either. Brunel died only four days after the great ship's first sea trial.

 However your country is, however your politicians are, however the weather, the circumstances, the terror strikes, the price hikes, the conditions of living are... there is something that pulls and chains you strongly and emotionally to your mother country! Love you India!!!
