EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the early 1900s, showcasing a picturesque scene at Fowey Harbour in Cornwall. The image transports us to an era when steamers were the lifeline of maritime transportation. Moored just off the clay jetties, we can spot several magnificent vessels that once graced these waters. On the left stands proudly the SS Snowdon Range, its towering presence dominating the frame. This majestic steamer exudes power and elegance simultaneously, a true testament to engineering marvels of its time. Adjacent to it, possibly hiding some untold stories beneath its weathered exterior, is the enigmatic SS Hero - a vessel that seems to hold secrets within its timeworn hull. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment forever. Through his lens, he captures not only ships and boats but also Cornish heritage and seafaring traditions. As we gaze upon this historic print from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, our imagination runs wild with tales of adventure on high seas and bustling harbors filled with sailors' songs and salty air. It serves as a reminder of how vital these steamers were in connecting communities along Cornwall's rugged coastline. This photograph invites us to delve into history while appreciating both the beauty of Fowey Harbour and those who navigated these waters long ago – leaving an indelible mark on Cornwall's rich maritime legacy.
