EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the bustling harbour of Newlyn in the early 1900s. The image showcases a vibrant scene, teeming with an array of fishing and general-purpose vessels that were essential to the livelihoods of this Cornish village's inhabitants. The composition beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era, where rowing boats gracefully glide across calm waters while larger sailing ships majestically dot the horizon. The sight is reminiscent of both Victorian and Edwardian times, evoking a sense of nostalgia for those who long for simpler days. Notably, four vessels steal our attention: PZ210, PZ162, PZ323, and PZ564. These numbers etched on their sides symbolize not only their individual identities but also represent the rich history and heritage associated with Newlyn's fishing industry. Each boat tells its own story - tales of courageous fishermen braving treacherous seas in search of bountiful catches. Canon Henry Holroyd Mills skillfully captured this snapshot in time; his lens immortalizing a moment that would otherwise have been lost forever. Through his lens, we are transported to an era when life revolved around these waters - when families eagerly awaited their loved ones' safe return from sea. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print at the Royal Cornwall Museum today, it serves as a poignant reminder of Newlyn's maritime legacy – an enduring testament to its hardworking community whose lives were intrinsically
