His dad was remarkable as well.  Brunel cut his teeth on his father&#x27;s Thames tunnel project (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Thames_Tunnel" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Thames_Tunnel</a>).  There is a little Brunel museum on the site of the project&#x27;s steam engine.  Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
