Difficulties in Laying Submarine Cables Across Oceans
The Ireland to Newfoundland arc is 1700 miles, yet the cable runs 2500 miles to allow bends. The first cable used 330000 miles of wire, enough to circle the world fourteen times, with seven wires bundled and coated in resin tar and gutta percha then wrapped and protected by jute and ten iron wires.
