This print captures the monumental moment when the 'Great Eastern' was utilized in the creation of the Atlantic Telegraph in 1850. The image showcases the intermediate paddle-shaft being carefully lowered onto the deck of this impressive vessel, which played a crucial role in laying down undersea telegraph cables across the vast Atlantic Ocean.
