EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque St Ives harbour in Cornwall, circa 1904. The scene is bustling with activity as fishing boats dot the tranquil waters, their sails gracefully drying under the warm sun. Two prominent ships catch our attention: ship number SS551, a magnificent vessel built by Bryant in 1874, and ship number SS81 standing proudly behind it. These majestic structures serve as a testament to the rich maritime history of this coastal town. The photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures not only the beauty of these ships but also the vibrant atmosphere surrounding them. In the foreground, we see a group of men engrossed in conversation while tending to their daily tasks onshore. A lively crowd gathers near them, perhaps awaiting news from those returning from sea or simply enjoying the spectacle before them. Beyond that lies an idyllic beach framed by charming Cornish buildings that add character and charm to this already enchanting scene. The masts of various vessels pierce through the sky like sentinels guarding this thriving harbor. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured over a century ago at St Ives harbour, we are reminded of how much has changed yet how some things remain timeless. It serves as both a window into history and an invitation for us to explore and appreciate Cornwall's enduring connection with its coastal heritage
