EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the hard work and industry of the fishing community at St Ives, Cornwall, in the early 1900s. The men, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are unloading a catch of pilchards from their boats on the sandy beach. The small, silver fish are spread out on the shore, glistening in the sunlight. The scene is one of hustle and bustle, with men working together to fill the baskets and load them onto horse-drawn carts. Boys watch on, eager to help or perhaps just to learn the ways of the sea. The horses, strong and sturdy, stand patiently as their owners fill the carts to capacity. Once full, the carts are hitched up and set off towards the harbour, where the pilchards will be sold or processed. The boats, with their distinctive sails and rigging, sit quietly in the background, waiting for the next catch. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a time when the fishing industry was a vital part of the economy and way of life in St Ives. The conditions were tough, but the community was strong, and the sea provided a livelihood for many. Today, St Ives is a popular resort town, known for its beautiful beaches, quaint cottages, and vibrant arts scene. But this photograph serves as a reminder of its rich history and the hardworking people who shaped it.
