EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is a momentous occasion at the Bodinnick boatyard in Fowey, Cornwall. It was June 1990 when the latest Troy Class boat was being launched, and the atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation. Standing proudly at the center of attention is Maurice Hunkin, a skilled boat-builder who played an integral role in crafting this magnificent vessel. Flanking Mr. Hunkin are Terry Vernon and Ed Dubois, joint owners of the dinghy that had just been completed. Their faces radiate pride as they witness their dream come to life on these Cornish waters. This particular model marks a significant milestone for local boat-builders as it becomes the thirtieth Troy Class boat constructed since 1929. The history behind these boats adds another layer of significance to this image. The very first Troy Class boat was commissioned by Sir Charles Hanson, a former Lord Mayor of London, and brought to life by talented craftsman Archie Watty. Since then, each subsequent creation has carried on this legacy of craftsmanship and seafaring tradition. Photographed by Jonathan Barker with impeccable skill and timing, this snapshot captures not only a remarkable moment but also serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by the beauty of both man-made creations and nature's backdrop.
