"Clinker: A Journey Through Time and Seas" Step back in time to the late 1800s, where Coverack harbour in St Keverne, Cornwall was bustling with activity. The picturesque scene showcases a clinker rowing boat gracefully gliding through the calm waters, as fishermen prepare for their day's work. Travel forward a few decades to the early 1900s and find yourself at Calenick Creek in Calenick, Cornwall. From Brabyns Boat House, witness the beauty of a clinker fishing boat navigating its way through the creek's meandering path. The tranquility of this moment captures the essence of coastal life during that era. Venturing further along England's coastline brings us to Kings Lynn, where another clinker fishing boat takes center stage. Its sturdy construction is evident as it braves rough seas and carries on with its noble task of providing sustenance for local communities. But it isn't just about boats; it's about people too. In St Clement, Cornwall during the early 1900s, creekside cottages stand proudly against nature's backdrop. These humble abodes were home to hardworking individuals who relied on these very boats for their livelihoods. The Vicarage and church in St Clement also play an important role in this narrative. They symbolize faith and community spirit that bound together those living by the sea - offering solace amidst unpredictable tides. Our journey now takes an unexpected turn across continents to Bucharest, Romania. Here stands Mogosoaia Palace - a magnificent structure inspired by Brancoveanu-style architecture. Though far from our initial coastal setting, this grand palace reminds us that clinker craftsmanship transcends borders and eras. Returning closer to home but still embracing coastal charm brings us to Dungeness in Kent. Beach fishing boats dotting its shores showcase yet again how vital these vessels were for sustenance and trade.
