Description

This is the story of the telegraph cables that spanned the Atlantic Ocean between Valentia Island in Ireland and Heart’s Content in Newfoundland. These were pivotal in the development of the business and technology of international communications. This book takes a global view of the history and considers how external factors aided the development and eventual decline of cable telegraphy.
