Description

Written in 1865 by the war correspondent of the Times (London), William H.

Russell, this book tells the story of the 1865 attempt to lay the Atlantic Cable from the Great Eastern, Brunel's mammoth ship converted to cable laying for the purpose.

After relating the details of the failed attempts to lay the cable in 1857/58, the book describes and illustrates the expedition of 1865.

While it, too, ended in failure, it showed that the ship was capable of completing the task, and the cable was successfully laid the following year.
