🕑 Added 2024-02-02 22:42:29 +0000 UTC🐟 In the mid-19th century, a daring dream took shape as two nations celebrated the historic link created by an undersea cable beneath the English Channel. But one man, Frederic Newton Gisborne, envisioned a grander feat - connecting continents with a transatlantic telegraph cable!

When Samuel Morse joined, did he really speak entirely in dots and dashes? In which case, how did they communicate with him? Also, when Matt travels long distances, does his head really come off and float around like in the advert at the end of the video, because I find that a bit creepy, personally.

Again not trying to be mean but as someone who was born and raised in Newfoundland I felt it was my duty. The internet has more then enough misinformation but your team has always put in good work and corrected things when needed so its all good.

Thank you! We've worked on it this morning and should have a new video and message up before it posts on YouTube.😅❤️

Great video as always but if I may have one suggestion, please double check the map next time. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but that was Saint John New Brunswick being pointed out @2:15 not St. John's Newfoundland.

Clearly, they did not appease the machine spirits beforehand. They had this coming.

Apologies for the previous post with bad links and possible extra emails! The edits to the previous post did not work out, so we had to scrap everything and try again.❤️ Enjoy the episode!
