Shipping the Atlantic Telegraph onboard the Great Eastern
Engraving showing Isambard Kingdom Brunels steam-ship Great Eastern receiving the Atlantic cable from a smaller vessel. The cable was manufactured at Messrs. Glass and Elliott in East Greenwich, loaded onto smaller cargo ships, the Amethyst and the Iris and then onto the Great Eastern where it was stored in huge coils. The 1865 expedition to lay the transatlantic cable ended in failure due to bad weather but was successfully completed the following year
