EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a mesmerizing scene of boatbuilding in Calenick, Kea, Cornwall. The skilled hands of craftsmen can be seen meticulously constructing a magnificent vessel at Brabyns yard. The image showcases the artistry and dedication that went into creating these majestic boats, which were essential for transportation and river navigation during that era. With its sails yet to be unfurled, this boat-in-progress stands tall against the backdrop of the Cornish landscape. Intriguingly, if you look closely towards the left side of the bow, you'll notice charming white cottages nestled amidst nature's beauty in Calenick. These quaint dwellings add an idyllic touch to this snapshot from history. Renowned photographer Ernest Chegwidden has expertly captured every detail with precision and finesse. His lens immortalizes not just a boat being built but also reflects upon an entire industry thriving on Cornwall's waters. This remarkable photograph transports us back to a time when boatbuilding was both an art form and a livelihood for many communities along Cornwall's coastline. It serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to mastering this ancient craft
