GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): "Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel ""Takuyo"". Year of discovery: 2001. History: Named after Sir William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) (1824-1907), a Scots-Irish mathematical physicist and engineer, and the inventor of the piano-wire sounding machine first used on the USS Tuscarora in 1874. Until the advent of acoustic sounding instruments, machines based on Thomson's principles of operation were used to sound out and delineate most of the large features of the ocean basins. Thomson made many contributions to a wide-range of scientific fields." |
