William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, OM, GCVO, PC, PRS, FRSE (26 June 1824 - 17 December 1907).
As well as devoping the Kelvin temperature scale, Thomson was also an extremely skilled engineer who patented some 70 inventions and was involved heavily in the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. For that successful effort he was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1866. The Baron was raised to peerage in the 1890s, and became known as Lord Kelvin of Largs. |
