Global Stories Database

The SS Great Britain carried thousands of people across the world's oceans - emigrants, adventurers, crew members and those simply searching for something new. Many of their stories are waiting to be found.

Our Global Stories database opens up the archives, letting you search passenger lists, crew records and voyage histories spanning the ship's working life. Whether you're tracing a family connection, researching a specific journey, or simply curious about the lives behind the history - this is where you start.
