HMS Agamemnon
Engraving depicting the coiling of the Atlantic telegraph cable onboard HMS Agamemnon, with the crewmen sitting in a circle aroud the coil, 1857. Agamemnon was fitted out to carry 1, 250 tons of telegraphic cable for the first attempt by the Atlantic Telegraph Company to lay a transatlantic telegraph cable; although this initial cable attempt was unsuccessful, the project was resumed in 1858 and Agamemnon and her US counterpart USS Niagara successfully joined the ends of their two sections of cable in the middle of the Atlantic on 29 July 1858.
