EDITORS COMMENTS
The port of Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales, is beautifully captured in this vintage print from the 19th century. Published in Welsh Pictures in 1880 by Ken Welsh, this archival engraving provides a glimpse into the historical significance of this coastal town. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the majestic Holyhead Breakwater that stretches out into the sea, serving as a protective barrier against treacherous waves and providing safe passage for ships entering and leaving the port. Standing tall on top of these cliffs is a lighthouse, its beacon shining brightly to guide sailors through dark nights and stormy weather. The rugged beauty of Anglesey's coastline can be seen in every detail - from towering cliffs to crashing waves below. This picture transports us back to an era when maritime trade was thriving and Holyhead played a vital role as a bustling hub connecting Wales with other parts of the United Kingdom. As we admire this historical illustration, it serves as both a reminder of our rich past and an inspiration for future generations. It reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who built and maintained such important structures along our coastlines.
