If you like a bit of cable history, cable stories and cable ships
back to 1850s and earlier.... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://atlantic-cable.com">http://atlantic-cable.com</a><br>

A great collection of historical international cable maps at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://atlantic-cable.com/Maps/">http://atlantic-cable.com/Maps/</a> (dating back to WAY before
Telegeography maps!)<br>

Telegraph" of 1859, branching off the Australia-India route at
Singapore, heading up to Hong Kong.
