EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1909 showcases the serene beauty of Mevagissey's inner harbour in Cornwall. As the tide recedes, revealing a vast expanse of glistening mud flats, the scene becomes an intriguing blend of tranquility and activity. The sturdy stone walls that line the harbor stand as a testament to Cornwall's rich history, while chains dangle gracefully from their posts, adding a touch of maritime charm. In this snapshot frozen in time, several boats steal the spotlight. Among them are FY780 Surf and FY264 - vessels that have etched their names into local seafaring lore. Theodora also graces this frame with her presence; although her number remains unknown, she exudes an air of mystery and allure. A group of men can be seen navigating these waters with purposeful steps along weathered wooden planks. Their faces reflect determination and expertise as they engage in various tasks associated with sailing or rowing. These hardworking individuals epitomize the spirit of Cornwall's maritime heritage. The composition is bathed in soft natural light that accentuates every detail: from the texture on each boat's hull to ripples forming on the water's surface. This photograph was skillfully captured by Herbert Hughes, who masterfully encapsulated both the serenity and bustling energy within Mevagissey's inner harbor during low tide. As we gaze upon this historic image preserved at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to a simpler era when life revolved
