The year 1804 was monumental in history. That year would see the world population reach one billion, the isolation of morphine, and Napoleon come to power; but most of all, it was the first time goods were transported over land without the power of man or animal.

In the 1850s, as the buzz around the telegraph was growing, there was an increasing consensus to apply this technology across the Atlantic Ocean (around 2,000 miles, 3,200 km). In 1854, the Atlantic Telegraph Company began construction of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. British and American ships were used to lay down an insulated cable on the ocean floor. After four failed attempts, the project was completed in 1858, on the fifth attempt. It was the first project of its kind to succeed. Despite all this effort, the cable functioned for only three weeks.
