Porthcurno: PK Porthcurno
Description
***2005 review when the museum was called The Museum of Submarine Telegraphy*** Located where the telegraph cables that linked and ran an Empire came ashore, the museum tells the story of underground telegraphy along with the history of Porthcurno. A special exhibition also explains the role that Brunel's 'Great Eastern' played in the laying of the first successful transatlantic cable. Part of the museum is also in the tunnels dug to keep the site working during WWII
