It was a telegraph cable laid in August 1850 by the Anglo-French Telegraph Company, owned by John Watkins Brett. Running from Dover to Calais, it was made of copper coated in gutta-percha.
Cyrus West Field (1819 – 1892) was an American businessman and one of the founders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, the company that laid the first telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean in 1858.
The transatlantic telegraph cable.
If my memory serves me right it was called the International Cable.
Cyrus Field led the establishment of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. The first transatlantic message was received in 1858, but the cable stopped working after about 3 weeks. This cable was replaced by a new cable that was successfully laid in 1866 after five earlier attempts dating back to 1857.

transatlantic telegraph cable is an undersea cable running under the Atlantic Ocean used for telegraph communications. The first was laid across the floor of the Atlantic from Telegraph Field, Foilhommerum Bay, Valentia Island in western Ireland to Heart's Content in eastern Newfoundland. The first communications occurred August 16, 1858, reducing the communication time between North America and Europe from ten days - the time it took to deliver a message by ship - to a matter of minutes. Transatlantic telegraph cables have been replaced by transatlantic telecommunications cables. Fudging pinecone
That was Mr. Samuel Morse himself, who proved that it could be done by submerging a cable in the NY harbour and telegraphing through it in 1842. In 1851, the first commercial submarine cable was laid on the bottom of the English Channel by the Anglo-French Telegraph Company, connecting France and the UK.
