EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s in Calenick, Kea, Cornwall. The image captures a mesmerizing view of a boat being meticulously constructed at Brabyns yard. Two skilled craftsmen are seen on board, their focused expressions revealing their dedication to their trade. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Ernest Chegwidden, whose keen eye for detail has beautifully immortalized this moment in time. Through his lens, we are transported to an era where boats were not just means of transport but works of art. The Cornish landscape surrounding the boatbuilding site adds a touch of tranquility to the scene. The Daubuz Killiow Estate stands proudly in the background as if silently observing the birth of yet another vessel that will navigate its waters with grace. Sailboats have always held a special place in Cornwall's maritime history, and this photograph pays homage to that legacy. It showcases the skillful hands and unwavering determination required to construct these majestic vessels from scratch. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of history captured by Chegwidden's lens, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of water against wood and feel the salty breeze brushing against our faces. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship while reminding us of Cornwall's deep connection with its rivers and seas.
