EDITORS COMMENTS
July 1865: At Greenwich, the Atlantic Cable is Carefully Coiled Aboard the Great Eastern This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the development of long-distance communication as the Atlantic Cable, meticulously coiled in tanks at Greenwich, is prepared for loading aboard the Great Eastern. The cable, long enough to stretch from one side of the ocean to the other, revolutionized the way people connected across vast distances. The Great Eastern, a specially designed ship, was commissioned to lay the transatlantic telegraph cable. The cable, made of copper wires insulated with gutta-percha, was a marvel of engineering and technology. Coiling the cable in tanks was a crucial step in the process, ensuring that it would not be damaged during transport and laying. The image showcases the careful attention to detail and precision required to handle the delicate cable. Workers are seen meticulously coiling the cable in the tanks, ensuring that each turn is perfectly aligned and secured. The tanks, filled with water, helped maintain the cable's shape and prevent kinks or damage. The successful laying of the Atlantic Cable in 1865 marked a significant milestone in human history. It brought the world closer together, enabling instant communication between Europe and North America. The cable paved the way for further advancements in telecommunications and laid the foundation for the globalized world we know today. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the human spirit, as well as a reminder of the incredible advancements that have shaped our world.
