EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque Port Isaac harbour in Cornwall, during a tranquil low tide moment, most likely in late 1906. The scene is brought to life by the joyful presence of children playing on the sandy beach, their laughter echoing through the air. At the heart of this idyllic setting stands a remarkable vessel named Telegraph, proudly owned by local resident W. R. Guy and registered in Padstow. This 32-ton smack was skillfully crafted at Port Gaverne in 1859, its sturdy frame a testament to Cornish shipbuilding expertise. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot captured by photographer John Charles Burrow, our imagination begins to wander. We can almost feel the salty breeze brushing against our cheeks as we envision Telegraph gracefully navigating these waters over a century ago. However, amidst all its glory and tales of seafaring adventures, tragedy eventually befell this beloved boat. Lost forever within the treacherous mouth of River Taw in North Devon – an unfortunate fate that adds an element of melancholy to this otherwise serene image. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print serves as a poignant reminder of both cherished memories and untold stories from our maritime heritage. It invites us to reflect upon the passage of time while appreciating the enduring beauty that still graces Port Isaac today.
