EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the quintessential charm of St Ives harbour in Cornwall during the 1970s. The fishing boat, named Sweet Promise, is nestled among the colorful buildings that line the harbour, its mast standing tall against the clear blue sky. The boat's hull is coated in a layer of sand and seaweed, a testament to its daily toils in the Cornish waters. The image is further enhanced by the presence of several other boats, their rubber tyres chained to the quay, waiting for the next tide to take them out to sea. The sandy beach, dotted with sunbathers and children playing, adds to the summery scene, creating a sense of tranquility and relaxation. The Sweet Promise and its fellow boats are a reminder of St Ives' rich maritime history, which has shaped the character of this popular seaside resort. The buildings in the background, with their distinctive Cornish slate roofs, add to the picturesque setting, making this photograph a true celebration of the Cornish coast and its vibrant community.
