EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque town of Charlestown, Cornwall. Steeped in history, this charming port was established in the 18th century to facilitate the exportation of china clay from nearby quarries in St Austell. The harbor, a true gem, is under the ownership of Square Sail, a company that boasts an impressive fleet of ten majestic tall ships. These magnificent vessels frequently grace Charlestown with their presence, adding to its allure and providing a glimpse into maritime history. Charlestown's timeless beauty has made it a sought-after location for film and television productions seeking authentic recreations of historic ports. Its well-preserved buildings from the eighteenth century stand as testaments to Britain's rich architectural heritage. As one gazes upon this vibrant image captured by Peter Thompson, they are transported back in time to an era when trade and transportation thrived on these very shores. The colorful houses lining the quayside perfectly complement the deep blue hues of the sea beyond. The imposing harbour wall stands as a steadfast guardian against turbulent waters while offering breathtaking views across this Cornish coastal haven. This evocative photograph encapsulates not only England's stunning natural landscapes but also its cultural significance as a hub for water transport and international trade during centuries past. It serves as both a reminder and celebration of Charlestown's enduring legacy within British history.
