Framed Print of Laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable:workmen on the road between Killarney and Valencia, 1865 Creator: Unknown
Laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable: encampment of workmen on the road between Killarney and Valencia, 1865. Engraving from a sketch by Robert Dudley. The road to Valencia, either from Killarney or from Kenmare and Glengariff, at the head of Bantry Bay, was travelled not without some delays by the few persons from London who, having made the best of their way to see the landing of the cable, succeeded in getting there on the morning of Saturday week. The local staff of the Telegraph Construction Company had been engaged for some weeks past in various preparations on the spot. An encampment of the workmen was here or there to be seen along the road...These tents are pitched by the side of the road which passes along the shore of Dingle Bay towards Cahirciveen, at the foot of the Keragh mountains. The central figure in our Artist's sketch is Mr. Watlock, the superintendent of the works of the Magnetic Telegraph Company, to whom belongs the line connecting Valencia with the telegraphic system throughout Ireland'.
