EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to a sunny day on the 21st of August, 1911. The view down the slipway in Portloe, Veryan, Cornwall reveals a bustling scene filled with activity and charm. A large number of boats are drawn up on the slipway, including one identified as FH128. These vessels serve as a testament to the importance of fishing communities along this picturesque coastline. Nestled amidst rugged cliffs, quaint cottages overlook the cove below. Their presence adds an idyllic touch to this coastal village scene. It's easy to imagine fishermen returning from their daily catch or locals going about their daily lives against such a breathtaking backdrop. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye captured not only the beauty of nature but also documented Cornish maritime history for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost taste the salty sea air and hear seagulls calling overhead. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage and its deep connection with both land and sea – where lobster pots were set adrift and fisherman braved treacherous waters for their livelihoods. Through images like these, we gain insight into how coastal communities have thrived throughout centuries by relying on each other's support and resilience while embracing their unique surroundings.
