On 29 April the American protected cruiser tried to cut telegraph cables linking Cienfuegos with Madrid. 34. The study of underwater telegraph cables accelerated interest in mathematical analysis of very long transmission lines. 35. In 1866 the Great Eastern laid the first successful transatlantic telegraph cable and Thomson was knighted. 36. Undersea telegraph cables were usually a single conductor protected by steel-wire armour, effectively a coaxial cable. 37. Twelve trans-Atlantic telegraph cables snapped in multiple places. 38.
