EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 1800s transports us back to the bustling harbour of Newquay, Cornwall. As we gaze upon it, we are immediately drawn into a scene filled with maritime activity and the charm of a bygone era. In this snapshot of history, three majestic sailing coasters dominate the foreground as they gracefully unload their cargo at the central jetty and harbour beach. The Hetty stands proudly on the right, while our attention is captured by the magnificent Vixen in the center. Built in Peterhead in 1870 and registered in Fowey, Vixen exudes an air of strength and elegance that perfectly embodies her nautical heritage. The surrounding landscape reveals glimpses of Cornish life during this time period. Traditional carts pulled by sturdy horses line up along the quayside, ready to transport goods further inland. This harmonious blend of land and sea showcases how interconnected these elements were for coastal communities like Newquay. As we reflect upon this historical image, let us appreciate not only its visual beauty but also its ability to transport us back to a time when ships ruled these waters and trade thrived within these harbours. It serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime past and invites us to imagine ourselves amidst this vibrant scene where commerce met natural beauty.
