Telegraph and telephone communication heritage is at the historical heart of University College Dublin. Many artifacts from the Engineering world are on display including support examples of mechanical, electrical, and electronic pieces. However, here we investigate the forgotten link to Valentia Island and its place in submarine telegraph cable history. The examples of forgotten artifacts and one mans dream to finally preserve this cultural heritage so that history itself can come to life. © Anita Publications. All rights reserved.
