A bit of history
The pub says the building dates from 1835 and was probably two houses merged into one pub. It stands on Westferry Road, and the pub says it is next door to Burrells Wharf, the former Millwall Ironworks where the SS Great Eastern was built.

Stories & legends
- Local legend: The pub says Isambard Kingdom Brunel 'may have frequented' the Ship while his giant steamship the Great Eastern was being built nearby. The ship itself is well recorded: it was launched sideways into the Thames from the Millwall yard on 31 January 1858. That Brunel drank here is a guess made by the pub, not a recorded fact.
