… «Грейт Истерн» остаётся одним из самых важных судов в истории кораблестроения — трансатлантический кабель был проложен, что означало, что у Европы и Америки теперь была линия связи.
- Sentence describes two actions: the Great Eastern remains one of the most important vessels and the Trans-Atlantic cable had been laid.
- They happened in this order: first the cable had been laid, then the Great Eastern remains… is stated as a present result. We know this from the use of past perfect, which shows an earlier action.
- The tenses used are Present Simple (remains) and Past Perfect Passive (had been laid).
- We do not know exactly who performed the action, because the sentence uses the passive voice. The doer is not important here.
- The passive form is used because the focus is on the cable and the result of the action, not on who laid it.
- Another example of the past perfect passive in the text is: had been built.
