Cornish Fishermen Leaving Morning Sails Fleet
EDITORS COMMENTS
"A Cornish Morning: The Fishing Fleet Sets Sail (Date: 1904) This evocative photograph captures the moment the Cornish fishing fleet sets sail from the harbour, as the first light of a new day breaks over the Cornish coast. The scene is one of tranquility and industry, as the fishermen prepare to cast their nets and begin their daily catch. The boats, a mix of traditional Cornish cobles and larger vessels, are all neatly moored in the harbour, their sails furled and ropes coiled. The fishermen, clad in thick, waterproof clothing, are busy making final preparations before setting out to sea. The sun, just beginning to rise over the horizon, casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the boats and the surrounding landscape. The calm waters of the harbour reflect the light, creating a mirror-like effect. Despite the early hour, there is a sense of anticipation and excitement in the air. The fishermen know that the day ahead holds the promise of a bountiful catch, enough to feed their families and provide for their community. This photograph is a testament to the hard work and resilience of the Cornish fishing industry, which has been a vital part of the region's economy and culture for centuries. It is a scene that has changed little over the years, and continues to inspire awe and admiration in all who witness it." Rights Managed Image from Mary Evans Prints Online.
