EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque port of Port Isaac, Cornwall, during what is believed to be late 1906. The focal point of the image is the magnificent boat named Telegraph, proudly owned by W. R. Guy. This 32-ton smack was registered at Padstow and had a rich history dating back to its construction in 1859 at Port Gaverne. The photograph offers an intimate close-up view of the Telegraph as it engages in unloading activities. Its weathered wooden hull stands out against the backdrop of a bustling harbor filled with other vessels, creating a fascinating contrast between tradition and modernity. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship that went into building this vessel and its role as an essential part of maritime life in Cornwall. Little did anyone know that this very boat would meet its unfortunate fate at the mouth of River Taw in North Devon. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are transported back to a time when fishing boats like Telegraph were not only means for livelihood but also symbols of resilience and community spirit along these rugged coastlines.
