English: Burnside was an iron-hulled steamship, launched and completed in 1882 by Campbell, MacIntosh & Bowstead in Newcastle-upon-Tyne as the British cargo ship Yeoman. In 1891 a Spanish company acquired her and renamed her Rita. In 1898 the US captured her in the Spanish-American War and had her converted into a cable-laying ship, with capacity for 300 miles of cable. She was stationed at Puget Sound. Dellwood, with capacity for 1,000 miles of cable, replaced her in 1924. General Metals scrapped Burnside at Oakland, California that June.
