Samuel Lake AM (1842–1887) was a general merchant, civil engineer, and pioneering designer and builder of steam trawlers,[2] from Dartmouth, Devon in the United Kingdom.
In his civil engineering work in the 1860s he constructed one of the first rows of terraced cottages to be built out of poured shuttered concrete, using what was then a revolutionary building material and technique.
[3][4][5][1][6] Lake's trawler work was in conjunction with George Parker Bidder,[7] also of Dartmouth, and proved to be a technical success, but not at that time to be commercially viable.
[1] Lake was contracted in 1879 to build Milford Haven and in 1881 Felixstowe Docks[5][1] but went bankrupt.
