Catherine the Great seized the Ukraine. And in France, the old order fell and Napoleon redrew the map of Europe. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

Ohne sichere Kenntnis des Meeresbodens, der Materialbeschaffenheit und ohne Aussicht auf sicheren Erfolg werden mehr als 3.000 Kilometer Telegraphenkabel von Europa nach Amerika gelegt. Strom wird durch Batterien erzeugt, weil der Generator noch nicht serienreif ist. Die Tiefenlotung erfolgt mittels Senkblei, weil das Echolot noch nicht erfunden ist. Navigiert wird nach alten nautischen Verfahren, weil in Erdumlaufbahnen noch keine Satelliten kreisen. Halbwegs verlässliche Wettervorhersagen sind ebenfalls unbekannt.
