The team behind the historic SS Great Britain ship in Bristol is undertaking a major project to tell challenging stories with community engagement and participation. One of those stories is the ship鈥檚 1857 voyage to Mumbai, in India, as a British troop carrier. It was one of 51 countries the ship visited, and the SS Great Britain Trust says some aspects of the past 鈥渉ave been underexplored because they are thorny and bring up challenging aspects鈥. Madeline Frohlich, from the Trust, speaks to 麻豆社 Radio Bristol's Anisa Indawala.
