EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant period in history - Porthleven, Cornwall during the years 1914-1918. In this poignant snapshot, we witness a group of weathered fishermen aboard their boat by Newlyn Harbour wall. What makes this scene truly remarkable is that all these men are aged over 70 and have returned to fishing due to the manpower shortage caused by the First World War. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this image encapsulates both resilience and sacrifice. These seasoned seafarers, who should have been enjoying their well-deserved retirement, instead found themselves answering the call of duty once more. Their dedication to supporting their community during such trying times is nothing short of inspiring. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by ordinary people during wartime. The wrinkles etched on their faces speak volumes about lives lived at sea and hardships endured throughout decades of fishing. Yet here they stand united, ready to navigate treacherous waters once again for a cause greater than themselves. The significance lies not only in capturing an extraordinary moment but also in preserving a piece of Cornish heritage forever engraved within these frames. This photo serves as a testament to the strength and unwavering spirit that defined those who lived through World War One – reminding us never to forget those who sacrificed so much for our freedom today.
