June 1881 CE
The first ship to use Joseph Swan's invention is The City of Richmond, owned by the 'Inman Line'.
She was fitted out with incandescent lamps in June 1881.
The Royal Navy also introduces them to their ships soon after, with HMS Inflexible having the new lamps installed in the same year.
