By 1866 telegraph lines had been laid across the Atlantic Ocean for communication between the USA and Europe.

Although the telegraph had fallen out of widespread use by the start of the 21st century, replaced by the telephone, fax machine and Internet, it laid the groundwork for the communications revolution that led to those later innovations."
