EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Sussex Harbour in Rye on a crisp autumn day, specifically 5 November 1890. The image, preserved within the General Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime heritage of this Victorian era. The scene showcases an array of boats gracefully moored along the quay, their masts towering towards the sky. Each vessel tells its own story - from sturdy fishing boats to elegant sailing ships - representing both trade and leisure activities that thrived during this period. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to transport us into a bygone era. As we observe the intricate details captured by an unknown photographer over a century ago, we can almost hear the sounds of sailors busy with their tasks and feel the salty breeze against our faces. Rye's urban landscape serves as a picturesque backdrop for these majestic vessels. Nestled on England's southeastern coast, East Sussex provided an ideal location for maritime commerce and exploration during this time. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's commitment to preserving such invaluable records like this one, we are able to appreciate and learn from our past. This remarkable print is a testament to our shared history and reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
