EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Stackpole Quay in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, during the late 1890s. The historic Victorian quay, nestled between the rugged cliffs and the sparkling blue waters of the Irish Sea, is a hive of industrial activity. At the heart of the scene is the impressive three-masted sailing ship, The Pride of Wales, which has just unloaded a cargo of coal from its hold. The coal, once offloaded, would be transported via wagon to nearby industries, fueling the region's growing economy. As The Pride of Wales prepares to load a new cargo of limestone, the quay workers scurry around, expertly maneuvering sacks and crates. The limestone, quarried from the nearby cliffs, would be transported to various destinations, contributing to the region's thriving trade. The quay's red-brick wall, adorned with intricate Victorian detailing, stands tall and proud, a testament to the area's rich history. The mast of The Pride of Wales, with its elegant curves and intricate rigging, cuts a striking contrast against the clear blue sky. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the sea was the primary means of transport and the quaysides were the heart of industrial activity. The cliffs and the sea, which have remained unchanged for centuries, serve as a backdrop to this historical scene, reminding us of the enduring beauty and power of nature.
