EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to witness the bustling fishing fleet off St Ives, Lelant, Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque view of numerous boats under full sail, gracefully gliding across the sea. It is fascinating to observe how some vessels cleverly utilize their large oars or sweeps to navigate away from the shore and catch the wind's favorable currents. The coastal charm of this scene is further enhanced by the presence of Godrevy lighthouse standing tall in the distance. Its beacon serves as a guiding light for these hardworking fishermen as they venture out into the vast expanse of ocean in search of their bountiful catch. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides valuable insight into Cornish industry and its deep connection with the sea. Fishing has long been an integral part of Cornwall's heritage, sustaining communities and shaping local culture throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the resilience and determination exhibited by those who made their living on these waters. Their tireless efforts ensured that fresh fish would grace dinner tables far and wide. With its rich maritime history beautifully encapsulated within this single frame, this print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when fishing fleets ruled these shores with sails billowing proudly against an azure sky - forever preserving their legacy for generations to come.
