The Cable Ship Faraday in the mouth of the River Thames
The Cable Ship Faraday in the mouth of the River Thames. Built by Siemens Bros. in circa 1874 and spent 50 years laying cable. Eventually sold for scrap in 1924, however this proved too tricky, so was sold to the Anglo-Algiers Coaling Company and renamed Analcoal - stored coal in Gibraltar in 1931. Became a Royal Naval store ship in Sierra Leone in 1941 and was FINALLY scarped in South Wales in 1950. The word that springs to mind is " Durable" !!! Date: circa 1909

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic cable ship Faraday, proudly anchored in the mouth of the River Thames around the turn of the 20th century. Built by Siemens Bros. in circa 1874, the Faraday played a pivotal role in the development of global communication by spending an impressive 50 years laying underwater telegraph cables. After being sold for scrap in 1924, the ship proved too resilient to be easily dismantled. Instead, it was purchased by the Anglo-Algiers Coaling Company and renamed Analcoal. In 1931, Analcoal became a vital store ship for the Royal Navy in Gibraltar. The Faraday's tenure as a naval vessel continued in Sierra Leone during World War II. Despite its eventual demise, the ship's enduring legacy as a symbol of innovation and durability is undeniable. This photograph, taken circa 1909, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of the River Thames and the remarkable journey of this once unassuming cable ship.
