EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at East Ferry, Queenstown (now Cobh), Co. Cork, in the early 1900s. The image presents a serene scene of three local men in a rowing boat, skillfully navigating their way across the narrow channel at a crossing point. The gentle ripples on the water reflect the calmness of the day, while the men's focused expressions reveal their determination and connection to the land and sea. East Ferry, located on the eastern shore of Cork Harbour, was an essential crossing point for residents and visitors of Queenstown (Cobh) before the construction of the railway and the expansion of the harbor. The men in the boat, dressed in simple work clothes and wearing hats to protect them from the sun, represent the hardworking spirit of the community. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was more rural and reliant on the natural world. The stunning location, with its picturesque harbor and rolling hills in the background, adds to the sense of tranquility and underlines the importance of the waterway as a lifeline for the community. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and culture of East Ferry, Queenstown (Cobh), Co. Cork, and serves as a reminder of the strong bond between the people and the land and sea that has shaped the region for generations.
