Harbourside Newlyn Petrol Shell Shore Tanker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling harbourside of Newlyn, Cornwall, in the year 1939. The scene is filled with the hustle and bustle of marine life as fishermen prepare their nets and boats for a day at sea. The quay is lined with colorful boats, their sails rolled up and secured, while men work diligently to load and unload their catch. In the background, a shell and petrol tanker casts a long shadow over the harbor, a reminder of the growing industrial presence in the region. Newlyn, located on the south coast of Cornwall, has a rich maritime history and has long been known for its thriving fishing industry. The community is nestled among rugged cliffs and rocky shores, providing a dramatic backdrop for the daily activities of the fishermen and their families. Despite the looming threat of war, the people of Newlyn carry on with their daily lives, undeterred by the uncertainty of the future. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, when the simple pleasures of life on the coast were still a source of joy and sustenance for the local community. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Newlyn, who have weathered the storms of the sea and the challenges of war to continue their traditions and way of life. It is a reminder of the beauty and history of Cornwall's coastal communities, and a glimpse into the past that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
