River Jordan, Dorset[edit]
No. 1 funnel from SS Great Eastern
- ... that a pumping station on the River Jordan used the damaged funnel from SS Great Eastern (pictured) as a water filter? Source: "Among the equipment installed at the new pumping station was a section of a funnel taken from Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s steam ship, the SS Great Eastern [...] In 1859 ... an explosion on board ... damaged one of the ship’s funnels. [...] The upper section of funnel was subsequently bought by the Weymouth Waterworks Company and adapted and installed in the springhead reservoir to filter the water before it entered the pumping station.
