EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in the annals of maritime and technological history: the Prince of Wales, Edward, paying a visit to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Great Eastern steam-ship in June 1865, prior to its scheduled voyage to lay the transatlantic telegraph cable. The image, published in Illustrated London News, shows the Edward, Prince of Wales, standing proudly on the deck of the colossal vessel, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The Great Eastern, the largest ship of its time, was a marvel of engineering, designed to carry the heavy cable and withstand the harsh conditions of the Atlantic. However, fate had other plans. The expedition, which was set to depart from Ireland in the third week of December 1865, was marred by inclement weather and had to be abandoned. The disappointment was palpable, as the successful laying of the transatlantic cable was crucial for the rapid communication between Europe and North America. Undeterred, Brunel and his team did not give up. The following year, in 1866, they embarked on a new expedition, and this time, they succeeded in laying the cable from Ireland to Newfoundland. The achievement was a testament to their perseverance and the power of human ingenuity. This engraving is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the determination and innovation that shaped our world. The Prince of Wales' visit to the Great Eastern steam-ship in 1865, though marked by setbacks, ultimately paved the way for a new era of communication and connection between continents.
