EDITORS COMMENTS
On this historic day, June 3, 1876, the final inch of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable passed through the machinery of Messrs. Glass and Elliott at Morden Wharf, East Greenwich, marking the completion of its manufacture. A monumental achievement, 2,300 miles worth of cable had been produced prior to the expedition of 1875. The project, which aimed to establish a telegraphic communication line across the Atlantic Ocean, had faced numerous challenges. The manufacturing process was hampered by bad weather, and the import of raw materials was a significant challenge. The cable, which was manufactured using a combination of copper and insulating material, was a testament to the technological advancements of the time. Once completed, it was transported to the steam-ship Great Eastern, which was specifically designed to lay the cable on the ocean floor. The expedition, led by Sir Charles Bright and Sir William Thomson, faced further challenges due to the harsh weather conditions in the Atlantic. However, on December 21, 1875, the cable was successfully laid, connecting Europe and North America for the first time. This groundbreaking achievement revolutionized communication between the two continents and paved the way for further advancements in telecommunications technology. This photograph captures a significant moment in history as the last inch of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable is finished at Morden Wharf, East Greenwich. The machinery of Messrs. Glass and Elliott played a crucial role in the manufacture of this remarkable achievement, which would change the world forever.
