EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from around 1900 showcases the bustling activity of Newlyn Harbour, Cornwall. The fleet of fishing boats is a testament to the thriving fishing industry that once defined this coastal village. Amongst the vessels captured in this snapshot are boats with registrations PZ498, PZ214, PZ192,100PZ, PZ422,185PZ, 301PZ, 521PZ, 397PZ and 61PZ (registered in Penzance). The photograph not only highlights the impressive number of boats but also offers a glimpse into the daily lives of fishermen. In the background stand fishermens huts which served as their humble abodes during their time at sea. These huts were witness to countless stories of hard work and resilience. The image captures an era when Newlyn Harbour was at its peak as a hub for maritime activities on the south coast. The Victorian and Edwardian influences can be seen in both the architecture and attire depicted in this scene. As we admire this historical photograph taken by an unknown photographer, it serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its close connection to the sea. This picturesque coastline has long been intertwined with fishing traditions that have shaped local communities for generations
