Default Pioneering engineering projects

I recently stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Waterville, which was originally a terminus of the first transatlantic telegraph cable, the owner was able to tell me quite a lot of the history of this fascinating project, does anyone know of any written histories of this event, which has links to Brunel's Great Eastern among other icons of that era
