My guess for those would have been they share the same Rolls V12, but that can't be right.

Can anyone tell me who this man is?

It's a tough one. But the reason why he is known is actually pretty fascinating.


May need hints on this one.

The description in tiny writing at the bottom is quite the clue.

It was a picture of men coiling up the first transatlantic cable in the hull of the ship that laid it down. I didn't notice the caption at the bottom until I posted it...

Anyway, let's see who can get this...



Name this famous ship and what her fate was.
