Telegraph Field Valentia Island
County Kerry, Irelandhe Valentia Island telegraph was a historic achievement that connected Europe and North America by a submarine electric cable in 1866. It was the first permanent trans-oceanic communication link that allowed messages to be sent instantly and accurately across the Atlantic. The project was initiated by Cyrus West Field, an American businessman who wanted to improve global communication and trade. He formed the Atlantic Telegraph Company and hired engineers and ships to lay the cable under the ocean. The first attempt in 1858 was successful, but the cable broke after a few weeks. Several more attempts failed until 1866, when the SS Great Eastern, the largest ship at the time, managed to lay a durable cable from Valentia Island in Ireland to Heart's Content in Newfoundland, Canada. The Valentia Island telegraph had a huge impact on the world, as it revolutionized the fields of politics, business, science, and culture.
