EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Double Harbour of Mevagissy, Cornwall, in the late 1930s. The quaint fishing village, nestled along the rugged Cornish coastline, is a picturesque scene of wooden fishing boats bobbing gently in the harbor. The Double Harbour, with its unique design, protected the village from the relentless Atlantic waves, making it an ideal location for the local fishermen to moor their boats and ply their trade. The photograph transports us back in time to an era of simple transport and industry. The fishermen, dressed in their traditional attire, are seen preparing their nets and gear, ready to set sail and brave the elements in search of a bountiful catch. The wooden boats, with their distinctive shapes and colors, are a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the local boat builders. The Double Harbour of Mevagissy was a thriving community in the 1930s, with fishing being the primary source of livelihood for the villagers. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the fishermen and their families, who lived and worked in harmony with the sea. The simple pleasures of community, tradition, and the bounty of the sea are beautifully encapsulated in this timeless image. The photograph, taken in 1939, is a poignant reminder of the rich maritime history of Cornwall and the resilience of its people. The Double Harbour of Mevagissy remains a popular tourist destination today, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its unique charm and beauty.
