Capturing the Essence of Mevagissey's Inner Harbour in 1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the quaint coastal village of Mevagissey, Cornwall, on a serene summer day - June 5th, 1909. The inner harbour is depicted with its tranquil waters glistening under the warm sunlight. As the tide gently rolls in, boats sway gracefully along their moorings. A closer look reveals a delightful assortment of fishing vessels that once graced these historic shores. Among them are FY228, FY1, FY13, FY94, FY283, FY108, and FY171 - each bearing witness to countless seafaring adventures. A particular boat named Willie adds an air of mystery as it sails elegantly into view. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Herbert Hughes; his keen eye for detail perfectly captures every element that makes this scene so enchanting. Cornish architecture proudly lines the waterfront: sturdy stone buildings stand tall against time while weathered walls tell tales of generations past. Intriguingly enough, we catch glimpses of men and boys dotting the landscape - perhaps fishermen preparing their nets or locals enjoying a leisurely stroll by the water's edge. Chains hang from posts like guardians protecting this cherished harbor from turbulent seas. This evocative image transports us back over a century ago when sailing and rowing were integral parts of daily life in Mevagissey. It serves
