The story behind the image
The first trans-atlantic communication cable ended in Knight’s Town on Valentia Island in Ireland in the 1850s. Back in 1999, there used to be a pub called The Cable’s End, and its owner could tell you everything about the cable. The pub has closed long ago, and today you can simply visit Wikipedia or atlantic-cable.com to read an exciting recount of the efforts laying this historic link.
For thoses seeking genuine tranquility, I recommend Knight’s Town and Valentia Island as perfect destinations.
