Abstract

"A revolution in world communication took place 100 years ago today when the first trans-Atlantic cable was officially placed in service. The first official cablegram was a message of congratulation from Queen Victoria to President Buchanan. When it flashed over the undersea cable on August 16, 1858 it marked the linking of the United States and Great Britain in direct, rapid connection for the first time."
