Xtralis, a leading provider of intelligent fire detection and security solutions, recently announced that its ADPRO remote monitoring and perimeter protection system has been chosen to help protect the famous UK steam ship, the SS Great Britain, from the threat of vandalism, crime and other potential security breaches.
Designed by the 19th Century engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the SS Great Britain was an advanced Atlantic liner commissioned for the Great Western Steamship Company's Bristol-New York service. In 1970, the vessel was returned to the Bristol dry dock where she was first built. The SS Great Britain now attracts more than 150,000 visitors annually and is a key part of Britain's rich maritime history.
