EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, capturing a moment frozen in time off the coast of Porthgwarra, Cornwall. Two weathered fishermen stand proudly in their boat as it floats gracefully on the calm sea. The sail is hoisted up high, catching the gentle breeze that propels them forward towards their fishing grounds. Surrounding them are other boats, each identified by their unique numbers - 255PZ, 261PZ, 420PZ, 494PZ, 540PZ, 546PZ, and 606PZ. These vessels are securely chained together as they bob gently on the water's surface. It is a testament to the tight-knit community of fishermen who rely on one another for support and camaraderie during their arduous journeys at sea. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Herbert Hughes. Through his lens, he has beautifully captured not only the essence of Cornish fishing industry but also its deep connection with nature and coastal life. The rugged cliffs surrounding Porthgwarra Cove provide a stunning backdrop to this scene of resilience and determination. As we gaze upon this historic photograph from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when fishing was more than just an occupation; it was a way of life etched into every fiber of these fishermen's beings.
