EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1890s transports us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Porth, Cornwall. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to two majestic ships gracefully gliding through the calm waters of the bay. These sailing schooners epitomize a bygone era when maritime trade and exploration were at their peak. The focal point of this photograph is not only these magnificent vessels but also a sturdy wall that stands proudly in the center. This wall served as a protective barrier for an old shipyard, where skilled craftsmen once meticulously built these very ships captured in this snapshot. It's fascinating to imagine the bustling activity that must have taken place within those walls, as dreams set sail on each newly constructed vessel. Intriguingly, another feature caught within this frame is a bridge leading towards Porth Island. This iconic landmark adds depth and character to an already breathtaking scene, inviting us to explore further into its mysteries. We owe our gratitude for capturing such a remarkable moment in history to photographer J. Valentine whose lens skillfully immortalized this slice of Cornish life over a century ago. As we admire this extraordinary print from Royal Cornwall Museum, let us be transported back in time and appreciate both the beauty of nature and human ingenuity that shaped Cornwall's rich maritime heritage.
