EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this vintage print takes us back to July 1912 in Portloe, Veryan, Cornwall. The view of the cove looking out to sea is teeming with life and activity. Boats and fishermen dot the sandy beach, their hardworking spirit palpable even through time. In this snapshot of coastal life, we see FH123 on the slipway, a sturdy lugger ready for its next voyage. Amidst the hustle and bustle, several figures come into focus: three boys and a loyal dog sharing in the seaside adventure. Charlie Dunstan stands proudly on the left while Gilbert Trudgian holds his ground at center stage. The man standing on the left-hand side is none other than Fred Johns - a pillar of strength within this tight-knit community. As waves crash against rugged cliffs and rocks in harmony with nature's symphony, these working men continue their timeless dance with the sea. This photograph not only captures an idyllic moment but also serves as a testament to Cornish heritage and resilience. It transports us to simpler times when fishing villages thrived upon close-knit communities that relied on one another for survival. Preserved by photographer T. Mitchell's skilled lens, this image from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to glimpse into history's embrace - where children played freely along picturesque coastlines while adults forged their livelihoods amidst breathtaking landscapes.
