The Atlantic Telegraph Cables
Dear readers,

During installation of the new cable system Greenland Connect with cable ship Ile de Sein we found and recovered som 100 meters of an old telegraph cable on the Southwest coast of Greenland. To my knowledge, there was never installed a commercial telegraph cable to Greenland, but during WW2 the US forces may have diverted an old transatlantic cable to the island for comunication with the air base Bluie West One.

The type of cable was standard guttapercha telegraph cable with a deep sea amouring.

My best guess is the Germany - US cable from 1929? - or Western Union 1912? or Imperial No.2?

Can any of you give me a better idea?

Best regards

Ture Jönsson.
