A HUDSON RIVER CABLE 16.000 FEET LONG. 



The longest submarine cable ever laid by the New York 

 Telephone Co. is one that extends under the Hudson River 

 from Nyack to Tarrytown. It is 16,000 feet long. Because of 

 the length of this cable and the shallowness of the river at 

 both sides, it was necessary to use a scow drawn by a light 

 draught tug. The cable was placed on the deck of the scow 

 in the shape of a gigantic figure eight, so that it could be 

 fed down into the river without kinking. A strong brake was 

 placed on the stern of the scow to prevent the cable from 

 running overboard. This great length of cable was laid in 

 less than an hour and a half.
