By 1908 this system was highly developed as is apparent on the map. Telegraph lines and cables, electro-signal stations, telegraph stations, Marconi Wireless telegraph stations, lighthouses, information stations, storm signal stations and fog horns are all shown. Most submarine cables are named and dated. There is a table of distances and a list of regulations concerning communications between ships and coastal stations.
