transoceanic
Crossing the Atlantic
Transoceanic means crossing or spanning an ocean: a transoceanic flight, transoceanic cables, transoceanic shipping routes.
The word describes journeys, communications, or connections that extend from one side of an ocean to the other.
The first transoceanic telegraph forever changed international communication.
