Bristol Docks and Harbour

Bristol Harbour is an old side water walk with different unexpected findings. In one hand you can find old buildings, construction working areas and some new uglies buildings.

In my opinion, the best part is the oldest, where you can see some evidence of the industrial harbour and the color fisherman houses.

These houses are painted in colours because, the fishermen who lived there, used the same painting buckets for their boats, curious!

Following the old part you can discover the Brunel's SS Great Britain Ship, this old ship stays in the Bristol's Harbor as a Touristic point. It was one of the ships with the longest trip around the world of his age. This iron-hulled, steam-powered ship navigated to trade people from UK to New York at the XIX century.
