Tenby from the East, 1820: A Historical Glimpse into the Fishing Village of Old Wales This image, titled "Tenby from the East," transports us back in time to the picturesque fishing village of Tenby, Wales, as it appeared in the early 19th century. The print, created around 1820, offers a historical perspective of this charming coastal town that continues to enchant visitors with its rich maritime heritage and stunning beauty. The photograph, viewed from the east, showcases the natural harbor of Tenby, with its protective stone breakwaters and the rugged cliffs that frame the entrance. The vibrant colors of the boats moored along the shoreline add a pop of contrast against the muted tones of the stone structures and the vast expanse of the sea beyond. Tenby, located on the southwestern coast of Wales, has a long and storied history. The town's origins can be traced back to the 3rd century AD, when it was a Roman settlement. Over the centuries, Tenby grew into a thriving fishing and trading port, with its strategic location providing easy access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. The boats in the foreground of the image are typical of the fishing vessels that would have been used by the local fishermen, who would have braved the often treacherous waters to catch fish such as herring, mackerel, and cod. The boats, with their distinctive shapes and rigging, are a testament to the town's maritime heritage and the resilience of its people. As we gaze at this image of Tenby from the east, we are transported back in time to a simpler era, when the rhythms of the sea and the daily lives of the fishermen shaped the character of this historic Welsh town. Today, Tenby remains a popular tourist destination, with its charming streets, beautiful beaches, and rich maritime heritage continuing to draw visitors from around the world.
