“...the first transpacific telegraph wire didn’t happen till 1902.”
*******************************************************

The Pacific was the last barrier to world communications, but by 1902 both Britain and America had spanned the great ocean with cables. This article from the January 1903 issue of The Journal of Electricity, Power and Gas, published in San Francisco, is a good record of the events of the laying of the American cable as well as its technical aspects.
