EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Devon's rich maritime history, as fishing boats nestle in the sheltered harbor. Taken in the 1920s by renowned British photographer Ralph Ponsonby Watts, the image transports us back in time to an era when the fishing industry was a vital part of the region's economy and way of life. The boats, with their tall masts and colorful sails, are a testament to the seafaring traditions that have shaped Devon's coastal communities for generations. The intricate rigging and weathered wooden hulls speak to the skill and craftsmanship of the local boatbuilders and fishermen. The fish, drying on the quay, are a reminder of the hard work and dedication that went into providing food for local families and markets. The scene is one of industry and productivity, yet there is a sense of peace and tranquility that pervades the image, as the boats rest in the harbor, awaiting the next tide and the next catch. The photograph also serves as a visual record of a way of life that is, in many ways, a world away from the modern-day tourist destinations that now draw visitors to Devon's shores. The boats and their crews were the lifeblood of the community, and this image offers a glimpse into a time when the sea was not just a source of recreation, but of livelihood and identity for the people of Devon.
