Cable Captain : burying cables under the ocean floor / Julian C.S. Bloomer. by Bloomer, Julian C. S. Glen Margaret Pub., 2014. Call #: 384.109715 B655c Subjects Bloomer, Henry Melville.   Cable ships -- Canada -- History.   Cables, Submarine -- Atlantic -- History.   Telecommunications engineers -- Biography.   Transatlantic cables -- History. ISBN:  9781897462348 (pbk.) Description:  160 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Notes:  Some copies may be permabound. Summary:  The remarkable story of Captain Melville Henry Bloomer and the period from 1924 to 1940 during which the cable ships he commanded, the Lord Kelvin and the Cyrus Field, made the Cable Wharf in Halifax, Nova Scotia, their home base for their work in submarine telegraphic techology. The Lord Kelvin participated in the repair of cables damaged on November 18, 1929 by the great 7.2 Richter Scale intensity submarine earthquake which occurred 250 kilometers south of Newfoundland, and the five year expedition to develop an undersea plough to bury cables in the ocean bed. That project is considered one of the greatest marine accomplishments of all times. The Minia was one of the ships that rescued Titanic survivors. Complemented by nearly 150 photos and drawings.
