What is recorded here

Telegraph Field Valentia Island is a memorial in County Kerry, Ireland. Perhaps the first Atlantic undersea cable for communications emerged there, linking distant lands through water and wire. Maybe the field still holds the ghost of that sudden connection, waiting for humans to remember what distance meant before the cable broke it open.
