Description: In November and December 1857, with the 'Great Eastern' stuck on her slipways, the failed launch became something of a running joke in London. Numerous suggestions were made to put her to good use where she stood, including using her as a casino and a concert house!
Creator: Watts Phillips (artist), E. Walker (engraver)
Date: 1858
