EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured in the late 1880s, depicts a serene scene off the coast of Llangwm, a historic Welsh village nestled on the western bank of the Cleddau Estuary in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. The village, with its rich maritime heritage, had a thriving fishing industry for many years. In this image, we see a coal boat and a fishing vessel gracefully bobbing on the water, their sails billowing in the wind. The coal boat, with its distinctive tall, narrow silhouette, would have transported coal from the nearby mines to fuel the growing industries of Haverfordwest and beyond. The fishing vessel, on the other hand, would have been a vital part of the local economy, providing sustenance for the community and contributing to the region's thriving timber trade. The wooden boats, with their intricate details and elegant lines, add to the village's Victorian charm. The water, reflecting the clear blue sky, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Cleddau Estuary was a bustling hub of activity, and Llangwm was a thriving village on the Welsh coast.
