Under-ocean lines … FROM THE PAST!

I admit, I do love me some old-timey artifacts. This one shows a map of under-ocean transmission lines (telegraph!) as of 1901. Look at London being the hub of the world! Adorable.

    If you love historical imagery, check Google Earth 5.0. Nothing as old (or “olde”) as the maps you’re apparently all hot over, but you can see back to the 1950s in some cases. Check out Vegas’ development! (Vegas really shouldn’t exist.)
