New Alaska Cable to Be Laid Next Spring
Washington reports the new Alaska cable will be laid from Seattle to Sitka next spring aboard the Dellwood, a 1,000 mile insulated line weighing over 3,000 tons. The cable must be untouched by air, submerged in saltwater, and endure a 100 percent precise deployment. Delays occur if the ship encounters a break or snag, with repairs requiring careful dredging and recovery. The effort follows earlier submarine cable work and involves the Signal Corps under Colonel Gibbs in leadership at London and Seattle.
