Landing the transatlantic cable at Newfoundland in 1866, by Robert Charles Dudley (British, 1826-1909). One of the 19th century's great technological achievements was to lay a telegraphic cable beneath the Atlantic, allowing messages to speed back and forth between North America and Europe in minutes, rather than ten or twelve days by steamer. An initially successful attempt in 1858, led by Cyrus W. Field and financed by the Atlantic Telegraph Company, failed after three weeks.

SS Great Eastern was an iron sailing steam ship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and the largest ship ever built at the time of her 1858 launch. Following conversion work she was chartered to the newly formed Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company and laid 4,200 kilometres (2,600 miles) of the 1865 transatlantic telegraph cable. Then 48,000 kilometres (30,000 miles) of submarine telegraph from Brest, France to Saint Pierre and Miquelon, off Newfoundland in 1869, and from Aden to Bombay in 1869 and 1870.

'The breaking of the Atlantic Cable on board the 'Great Eastern', August 2, 1865', (1901). The first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid across the floor of the Atlantic Ocean from Valentia Island in western Ireland to Heart's Content in eastern Newfoundland, Canada. The cable broke several times, but was repaired. The cable reduced the communication time between North America and Europe from ten days - the time it took to deliver a message by ship - to a matter of minutes.
