Histórico
Charles Tilston Bright was born at Wansted, Essex in 1832. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School before joining the Electric Telegraph Company and later the Magnetic Telegraph Company. His best known achievement, the laying of the first telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean (1858) earned him a knighthood at the age of 26. From 1860 onwards Bright worked as an independent consultant. He was also independent Liberal MP for Greenwich between 1865 and 1868.
