great eastern

I don't know whether this is to be taken seriously and literally, or just Satire, lol. July 14th, 1860

What if the Great Eastern had been a successful venture which made her owners rich? Would she have influenced other ships afterward to be even bigger then they eventually became in our timeline? And how would world shipping be changed: if at all, by her success?
