The 1st transatlantic telegraph cable bridged the N American continent with that of Europe, speeding up communication between the two; messages that had taken weeks to deliver by ship could now be transmitted in minutes by telegraph. It took 3 attempts over an 8-year period before a lasting connection could be maintained. On Aug 16, 1858, the UK's Queen Victoria sent a telegram of congratulations to US President James Buchanan through the line. What was her message, and how did Buchanan respond?
