CS Faraday (1874)
The CS ''Faraday'' was a cable ship built for Siemens Brothers and launched in 1874.
''Faraday'' was specially designed for ocean cable-laying by William Siemens in collaboration with his friend William Froude, the pioneer of hull design. Built with bows at each end she had twin screws positioned so that using one screw she could turn in her own length. The two funnels were located to either side to maximise clear deck space. To minimise rolling there were, at Froude's suggestion, enormous twin bilge keels.〔J D Scott, ''Siemens Brothers 1858-1958'', Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 1958〕 William's wife Anne launched the ship with the traditional smashing of a bottle of wine.
''Faraday'' spent the next 50 years laying an estimated total of of cable for Siemens Brothers, including several transatlantic cables under the supervision of Alexander Siemens. She was sold for scrap in 1924 but proved to be too difficult to break up and was resold to the Anglo-Algiers Coaling Company for use as a coal hulk, being renamed ''Analcoal''. She was moved to Gibraltar in 1931 to store coal and then to become a Royal Navy storeship in Sierra Leone in 1941. She was towed to a South Wales breakers yard for scrap in 1950.〔(Atlantic Cable History )〕
