A better contender for this title would be the Titanic, unless there is some semantic reason making this not a "ship". “Probably the most famous ship in the world” - I think this is only true for people living in the UK, most of the rest of the world has never heard of it.

You can see the northern end here: http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=k&hl=en&ll=51.486514,-0.009248&z=19 Each one contains a manned lift down the the tunnel. Out of hours, you have to use the stairs. Route 1 of the national cycle network runs through the tunnel, yet cycling isn't allowed! Anyway, the tunnel is well worth a visit if you are in Greenwich.
