EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases "The Atlantic Telegraph Cable Fleet at Berehaven, Bantry Bay". The image takes us back to a time when telegraphs were a groundbreaking form of communication. The fleet is depicted in all its glory, anchored in the picturesque waters of Bantry Bay in Ireland. The scene exudes an air of maritime grandeur as the ships stand tall against the backdrop of rolling hills and serene blue skies. Each vessel represents a vital link in this revolutionary network that connected continents and bridged vast distances. It is fascinating to imagine the intricate process involved in laying these underwater cables that would forever change global communication. This print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 28,1866, offering readers a glimpse into this monumental achievement. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of progress and innovation. Through this engraving, we are transported back to an era where technology met nature's beauty amidst the tranquil shores of Bantry Bay.
