EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in the history of communication as the Great Eastern, designed by the renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, receives the Atlantic telegraph cable from smaller vessels, the Amethyst and the Iris. The cable, manufactured at Messrs. Glass and Elliott in East Greenwich, was carefully loaded onto the smaller ships and then transported to the Great Eastern for storage in its massive coils. The 1865 expedition to lay the transatlantic cable ended in failure due to harsh weather conditions, but the determination of those involved led to its successful completion the following year. The image illustrates the intricate process of importing and transferring the cable from the manufacturing site to the ship that would make history by connecting Europe and North America with an underwater telegraph line. The failure and subsequent success of this endeavor marked a turning point in global communication and paved the way for further advancements in technology and connectivity.
