This evocative photograph, taken on the 5th of June, 1909, captures the northern side of Mevagissey's Inner Harbour in Cornwall, England. The tranquil scene is filled with a vibrant array of boats at anchor, each with its unique identity marked by distinct numbers: FY4 Ella, FY262, FY560, FY67, FY191, FY129, FY91, FY375, FY194, FY181, FY759, FY98, FY37, and Surf and Nellie, whose numbers remain elusive. The men and boys on the quayside add to the bustling atmosphere, their figures framed by the raised sails and the colorful flags that flutter in the breeze. The photograph's composition is dominated by the quayside, where the name of a local sailmaker, Furse, is clearly visible. The building's historical significance is further emphasized by the traditional Cornish architecture that surrounds it.
