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 which features episodes on the construction of the Panama Canal, Transcontinental railway and Hoover Dam.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've found the DVDs.

Edit: This is not a documentary but a docu-drama reenactment.
