The account of the seemingly impossible. Against all the challenges of the Ocean and the odds stacked against them the first Transatlantic Telegraph Cable was laid between Britain and North America. Two continents linked by the very latest in technology of the time using only the materials that were available in the 1850s. The first messages relayed between Queen Victoria of England and President Buchanan of the United States on August 16, 1858.
