  • Abstract
    It was a century ago that the first submarine cable was laid between Dover and Calais. To mark this centenary the author reviews some of the events leading up to this achievement which made possible further advances in the communications field, such as laying of the transatlantic cable by the Great Eastern escorted by four ships, as shown in the picture above.
