There was a great BBC docudrama in 2003 called Seven Wonders of the Industrial World. [1]
First episode is about the SS Great Eastern, an iron ship that was the largest ship built at the time of her launch, designed by Brunel. [2]
I’d highly recommended the series with features episodes on the construction of the Panama Canal, Transcontinental railway and Hoover Dam.

For anyone interested, the BBC produced an excellent series "The Seven Wonders of the Industrial World", one episode of which covers the Brooklyn Bridge.
It's available as a set of DVDs, but the book is also well worth getting. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seven-Wonders-Industrial-World-DVD/dp/B0006B15JI
