Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases a monumental achievement that revolutionized global communications. The image depicts various scenes along the cable's route, starting from Whaler Anchorage in Fiji and showcasing key locations such as Norfolk Island, Southport, Fanning Island, New Zealand Terminus, Doubtless Bay, Brisbane, Suva, Port Queensland, Colonia Auckland and finally reaching its destination at Vancouver. The cable layers can be seen ashore at different points along the way while contractors work diligently to bring this ambitious project to fruition.

This visual documentation provides valuable insight into how communication networks were established during that era. Undoubtedly a remarkable feat for its time, this completed All-British Cable connected distant continents and facilitated instant telegraphic communication between Australia and Canada.
