French Cable Hut Details
This modest structure offers insight into a remarkable achievement: it once helped connect Paris to the United States by way of more than 3,000 miles of underwater telegraph cable stretching from France to Cape Cod. Laid over six months starting in 1879, the cable was used to send transatlantic messages until 1940.
