Framed Print of Second transatlantic telegraph cable C016 / 3652
A section of the second transatlantic telegraph cable. This piece has a diameter of about 2.5cm. It consists of a central wound copper core, embedded in gutta percha (a natural latex-like resin), with an outer strengthening wrap of waterproofed cable, the whole covered in a waterproofing fabric. This second cable was laid in 1865-6 by the SS Great Eastern between Newfoundland, Canada, and Valentia Island, Ireland. This piece was given to Michael Faraday (1791-1867) in recognition of his crucial technical help in the project, and is preserved at the Royal Institution, London. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © ROYAL INSTITUTION OF GREAT BRITAIN / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
