John Mullaly's 1855 travel account A trip to Newfoundland, published in New York by T.W. Strong, describes the island's scenery and fisheries and the laying of the submarine telegraph cable for a general readership. Its wood-engraved views show rocky headlands, harbour settlements with fishing stages, and steamers and sailing ships in the bays, offering a designer clear mid-nineteenth-century maritime and coastal reference.
