Image title | The Atlantic Telegraph Cable Wood engraved illustration. Harper’s Weekly, 12 August 1865. On July 28, 1866, after eight years and three attempts, a telegraph cable successfully linked Europe to North America. The Great Eastern (depicted in the central roundel), with a hull capable of holding 2,300 nautical miles of telegraph cable, made possible this audacious undertaking. In July of 1865, when she sailed from Ireland to lay down her cables, no reporters were allowed on board. Cyrus Field did guarantee, however, that a journal of the trip would be furnished to the Associated Press upon her arrival in Nova Scotia. The transatlantic telegraph transmitted eight words per minute and was quickly dubbed “the eighth wonder of the world.” But not everyone shared the gleeful optimism. In his 1874 novel, The Way We Live Now, British novelist Anthony Trollope declared that the telegraph would rob the newspapers of “all their old interest” and destroy “the very soul of intrigue.” |
