There's a good, if old, book about this ship: THE GREAT IRON SHIP, by James Dugan, which was published sometime in the 1950's. I read it when I was a boy (1960's), and as I recall, it was fascinating. Unless my memory plays me false there's a drawing of Jules Verne, one of many illustrations. The book is probably OP, but it may be worth looking up.

  A few week ends ago, I went to visit the San Francisco Maritime Museum:

  http://www.nps.gov/safr/local/mus.html
  http://www.maritime.org

  and to my surprise, I discovered a nice model of The Great Eastern from "Une Ville flottante". They don't mention Jules Verne within all their descriptive legend...

  I took pictures of the model and all the descriptive legend and posted it to:

  Please forgive the bad quality and low res pictures, the lightning was terrible.
