Dr. Edmund Parkes was the superintendent of the  Renkioi, a prefabricated wooden hospital designed by this gentleman. His father was inspired by a shipworm  to invent the Tunneling shield, which was used to build the first transportation tunnel under a river. He was once  strapped to a table and rotated upside down in an effort to dislodge a coin that had gotten stuck in a magic trick. In  the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremonies, Kenneth Branagh delivered a speech from The Tempest while dressed up as  this man. His greatest design ended up loosing the "Battle of the Gauges." This man designed the first steamship  designed for regular trans-Atlantic trips and he would would later design an even larger ship, the SS Great Britain.  This man collaborated with his father on the Thames Tunnel. His largest accomplishment is a transportation network  that includes the Box Tunnel and a bridge over the Tamar. For 10 points, name this chief engineer of the Great  Western Railway.
