Frank Taylor Cable? any info?
Hello My name is Eric Cable and I GGGG grandson of Casper Goebell Cable.
My inquiry is into Frank Taylor Cable who was born 1863 and died in 1945.
Frank was one of the founders of the Electric Boat Company which is now a division of General Dynamics and is the outfit that makes the Los Angles and Seawolf classes of submarines.
Frankwas an early pioneer in submarine development for the U.S. Navy. He was the civilian commander of the developmental submarine USS HOLLAND (SS-1), before it was accepted for U.S. Navy service and commissioned in 1900.
Also Frank is the namesake of the USS Frank Cable which is a submarine tender home ported in Guam.
Does anyone know any info on this guy's heritage?
was he a descendant of Casper?
thanks,
Eric
