Channel Islands cut off from the outside world

The Channel Islands are cut off from the outside world when the cable connecting them to the mainland snaps, Aurigny is founded, and the Guernsey Railway runs its last services. Meanwhile, Charles II is declared king in St Helier while still on the run from England, and Jersey’s courts were criticised by the Home Office for leaving a man in limbo. St Sampson, Guernsey’s patron saint, was ordained a bishop, and the recently deceased Lillie Langtry was brought back to Jersey to lie in her parents’ tomb.
