Old Fishguard Harbour, Pembrokeshire, South Wales: A Glimpse into the Maritime Past This evocative photograph captures the Old Fishguard Harbour in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, as it looked in the late 1880s. The scene is a tranquil one, with the calm, turquoise waters of the Irish Sea gently lapping against the harbour walls. Several sailing ships are anchored in the harbour, their sails billowing in the breeze. In the foreground, a steam-powered paddle steamer can be seen making its way into the harbour, its plume of smoke adding a touch of industry to the otherwise idyllic scene. Fishguard Harbour, with its rich maritime history, has been an important port in Wales since the Middle Ages. It was a vital trading hub, with ships from all over Europe and the Americas calling at its shores to trade in fish, coal, and other goods. The arrival of the steamship revolutionized transportation, making it faster and more efficient to travel across the sea. The Victorian era, during which this photograph was taken, saw a boom in tourism, and Fishguard Harbour became a popular destination for visitors seeking to enjoy the beautiful Welsh coastline. The construction of the Great Western Railway (GWR) station in 1868 brought even more visitors to the area, but this photograph captures the harbour before the station was built, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. Today, Fishguard Harbour remains an important part of Wales' maritime heritage, and visitors can still enjoy the stunning views and rich history of this beautiful coastal town.
