The Completion of the All-British Cable - A Historic Milestone in Global Communications
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the completion of the All-British Cable from Australia to Vancouver. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases a monumental achievement that revolutionized global communications. The image depicts various scenes along the cable's route, starting from Whaler Anchorage in Fiji and showcasing key locations such as Norfolk Island, Southport, Fanning Island, New Zealand Terminus, Doubtless Bay, Brisbane, Suva, Port Queensland, Colonia Auckland and finally reaching its destination at Vancouver. The cable layers can be seen ashore at different points along the way while contractors work diligently to bring this ambitious project to fruition. The photograph also reveals intriguing details about the method used to lay this underwater lifeline. Murphys Grapnel is shown being deployed on the sea floor of the Pacific Ocean as wire enters into a cable hut onshore. This visual documentation provides valuable insight into how communication networks were established during that era. Undoubtedly a remarkable feat for its time, this completed All-British Cable connected distant continents and facilitated instant telegraphic communication between Australia and Canada. It forever changed international connectivity and opened up new avenues for trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange across vast distances. Preserved within a private collection today but originally featured in The Illustrated London News on November 8th 1902; this historic photograph stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in overcoming geographical barriers through technological advancements.
