Hello y'all!

It's not really alternate history so I hope it's ok if I post it here but basically I'm looking for sources about communication in the late XIXth century?

We discuss a lot of colonies here but truth is, I have not much idea how it was on the ground. How developed was the telegraph system? What tonnage were commercial ships? How long did it take to travel from London to Hong Kong?

This type of stuff woud, I think, be really helpful. Maybe it's more for the logistic thread in the Post-1900 board but any source is much appreciated!
