1926 Sennen Cove - Bay Roberts - New York Cable |
|
This continuously loaded cable was made by Telcon for the Western Union Telegraph Company and laid by CS Colonia. System length was 3410 nm.
See also the 1924 New York - Azores cable, of identical construction. The Admiralty House Museum and Archives, Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, has a small but interesting display on transatlantic cable communications, and is worth a visit when in Newfoundland. |
