EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Raddy Collection takes us back in time to East Looe Quay, circa 1930. The image beautifully captures a scene filled with nostalgia and maritime charm. In the foreground, we see two Ferrymen expertly maneuvering their boats along the calm waters of the quay. These skilled individuals were an integral part of daily life in this coastal town, ferrying passengers across the river with grace and precision. The fishing boats scattered throughout the frame add another layer of authenticity to this snapshot of history. Each vessel tells its own story - weathered by years spent at sea, they bear witness to countless adventures on these very waters. Their presence serves as a reminder of Looe's strong connection to its fishing heritage. The I. R. I. S boat built in 1923 stands out amidst this picturesque setting. Its sturdy construction is evident, showcasing both elegance and functionality that defined vessels from that era. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, we are transported back to a simpler time when life revolved around the ebb and flow of tides. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of East Looe Quay but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives working on these waters. This print is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates an entire era within its frame – one filled with hard work, camaraderie among fishermen, and a deep respect for nature's bounty.
