Great Eastern Steamship saga and costly failure
The Great Eastern steamship story details losses and failed hopes as about £1,000,000 has been spent with only £26,000 realisable for bondholders and creditors. Office furniture was sold, directors disqualified themselves, and remaining assets yield just £15 after expenses and claims. The ship was bought cheaply by Gew company, linked to former directors, though it was designed for long tropical voyages rather than short northern trips, making its value and suitability questionable.
