EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 1800s transports us back in time to the bustling harbour of Newquay, Cornwall. The image showcases a picturesque scene filled with an array of coasters gracefully gliding through the tranquil waters. Standing proudly on the left is the magnificent Vixen of Fowey, her sails billowing in the gentle breeze, while on the right we catch a glimpse of another coaster, possibly named Hetty, moored at the central jetty. The charm and authenticity captured in this photograph are truly remarkable. It offers a fascinating insight into a bygone era when sailing vessels were vital for trade and transportation along Cornwall's rugged coastline. These sturdy boats served as lifelines connecting communities and carrying goods between ports. Notably absent from this particular snapshot are any signs of modernity or commercialization that have since become synonymous with coastal towns like Newquay. Instead, we are treated to glimpses of simpler times - horses patiently waiting alongside carts laden with cargo ready to be loaded onto these impressive vessels. This print serves as both a historical document and an exquisite piece of artistry. It reminds us not only of our rich maritime heritage but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for a time when life moved at a slower pace amidst breathtaking natural beauty.
