EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in maritime and telecommunications history as Edward, Prince of Wales, pays a visit to the Great Eastern at Sheerness on 24 May 1865. The Great Eastern, a colossal iron-hulled ship designed by the brilliant Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was an engineering marvel of its time. Its primary purpose was to lay the transatlantic telegraph cable, connecting Europe and North America for the first time. In this image, Edward, the eldest son of Queen Victoria, is seen boarding the ship to observe the awe-inspiring operation of taking on board sufficient cable to stretch across the Atlantic. The cable, coiled in massive drums, was carefully loaded onto the ship, ready to be laid on the ocean floor. The prince's presence added a sense of grandeur and importance to the endeavor, symbolizing the connection between the monarchy and the groundbreaking advancements in technology. The successful laying of the transatlantic cable would revolutionize global communication, enabling instantaneous contact between Europe and North America. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the Victorian era, as well as the pivotal role played by the British monarchy in shaping the world's technological landscape. The intricate process of loading the cable onto the Great Eastern, as witnessed by Edward, represents a turning point in history, forever linking the UK and the US through a single, unbroken line of communication.
