EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the monumental achievement of the Submarine Electric Telegraph between Newfoundland and Cape Breton. The image depicts a significant moment in history when communication technology connected two distant lands, forever transforming global connectivity. The scene is filled with bustling activity as war steamer Argus and other ships gather around to witness this groundbreaking event. The arrival of Propeller Victoria adds an air of anticipation, symbolizing progress and innovation. The submarine electric telegraph cable lies at the center of attention, representing a lifeline for maritime communications. Cape Ray serves as the backdrop for this historic occasion, its rugged beauty contrasting with the cutting-edge technology being laid beneath its waters. As steam ship James Adger and Barque Sarah L Bryant stand nearby, their presence emphasizes Canada's role in this remarkable feat. The engraving captures not only the physical act of laying the electric cable but also highlights its significance for Canadians and North America as a whole. It marks a turning point in history where distance was no longer an obstacle to instant communication across vast expanses. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how human ingenuity conquered barriers that once seemed insurmountable. It reminds us of our ability to push boundaries and embrace progress even amidst challenging circumstances.
