I took this photo on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The C.S. Long Lines was launched in 1961, but started its assignments in 1963.The ship was 511 ft long, and was fitted with 3 "cable tanks", which could hold 2168 nautical miles of cable. The ship was sold by AT&T in 1997, after having laid cable on 23 missions, including 10 across the Pacific or Atlantic, from 1963 to 1992. The ship was broken up in 2003. The 11,300-ton Long Lines, built for AT&T in 1963 at a cost of $19 million, was then the world's largest and most advanced cable ship.
