Ness of Burwick, Shetland Islands

Burwick Telegraph Cable Hut

Uploader's Comments

This was the terminal for an undersea telegraph cable, according to a local resident. In that case, it must be the 1906 cable to Faroes and Iceland. See http://atlantic-cable.com/Cableships/Cambria/ for a photo of SS Cambria at Burwick.
