In the age of sail and horse-drawn coaches, people travelled a long way to visit the tunnel, but this was not enough to make the tunnel a financial success. The working class used it for its functional use of crossing from one side of the river to another, while for the middle classes and upper classes, it was a tourist experience. The Thames Tunnel was used by people from all classes. The day it was first opened, it attracted five thousand people to enter the tunnel and walk its length of almost 400 metres. It was opened in 1843 to pedestrians only and people came from far and wide to see the marvel. It was the first subaqueous tunnel ever built and many people exaggeratedly claimed it was the Eighth Wonder of the World at the time it was opened. The Thames Tunnel was a tunnel built under the River Thames in London.
