EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment frozen in time, this vintage print showcases the hardworking fishermen of St Ives during the renowned Cornwall County Fisheries Exhibition. Dating back to July and August 1893, this image transports us to an era when fishing was not only a means of livelihood but also an integral part of Cornish culture. In this scene, three men and a young boy can be seen shouldering their heavy nets as they make their way across the sandy beach. Their weathered faces bear witness to years spent battling the unpredictable seas, while their determination is evident in every step they take. A fishwife stands nearby, her presence a testament to the vital role women played in supporting these brave seafarers. The focal point of this photograph lies on a boat named Pickwick, serving as both vessel and lifeline for these intrepid fishermen. Its weathered wood tells tales of countless journeys undertaken in search of bountiful catches. This image is just one among many glass lantern slides that documented the grandeur and significance of the Fisheries Exhibition held at Truro's Lemon Street field. Serving as a platform for showcasing Cornwall's rich maritime heritage, it brought together locals and visitors alike who marveled at displays highlighting various aspects of fishing traditions. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot today, let us pay homage to those who dedicated their lives to sustaining our communities through their tireless efforts on land and sea.
