Framed Print of The Danish Cable landing-place, near Calais, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The Danish Cable landing-place, near Calais, 1873. Early in August of this year a cable was laid successfully between Nordby, in the island of Fanö, Denmark, and Calais; the shore end on the French coast terminating at Les Huttes d'Oye, about ten miles east of Calais, and four miles from Gravelines. The need of this extra and independent communication had been long commercially and politically felt, as the German lines were choked by the flow of messages, and could not be always serviceable. The cable was manufactured by Messrs. Henley, and the Africa and Plata steamers were employed in laying it down, under the superintendence of Mr. Fraser. The length of the cable is 376 miles...Les Huttes d'Oye is the spot where the shore end of the cable is taken to French territory. This village, stretched along the flat coast, is built on the sandy dunes common in those parts...Les Huttes d'Oye is merely the sea station of the Danish cable, the principal office being at Calais, adjoining the French telegraph bureau. The cable was brought here, as the immense stretch of sand ensured its safety. The operations of the cable, so far, have been successful, and it promises to be an important link between North and Central Europe'. From Illustrated London News, 1873.
