EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a serene scene in Lerryn, St Veep, Cornwall. Here we see a majestic topsail schooner gracefully beached on the shores of the River Fowey. The vessel stands tall and proud against the picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. In the foreground, a child joyfully plays at the water's edge, seemingly captivated by this magnificent sight before them. Their innocent presence adds an element of youthful wonder to this tranquil moment frozen in time. On the far bank of the river, two men diligently work within a granary. Perhaps they are unloading or loading goods onto this very ship that has found temporary refuge on these sandy shores. Their laborious efforts add depth and context to this snapshot of daily life in coastal Cornwall during a bygone era. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, but their skillful capture allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical vignette. It serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its close connection with both land and sea. As we gaze upon this remarkable image preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of waves against wooden hulls and feel a sense of tranquility wash over us.
