EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to Portscatho harbour in 1912. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the small fishing boats that gracefully fill the tranquil harbor at low tide. Each boat tells its own story of hard work and dedication, as local fishermen would set sail each day to provide for their families and community. The village of Portscatho is beautifully captured in this snapshot, with charming houses and cottages nestled along the coastline. The vibrant colors of these buildings create a striking contrast against the backdrop of clear blue skies and sparkling sea. It's evident that life here revolved around the ocean, with fishing nets carefully arranged on shore awaiting their next venture into the depths. A sturdy breakwater stretches out into the water, providing protection for both boats and beach alike. This vital structure serves as a reminder of how communities relied on such engineering feats to safeguard their livelihoods against nature's unpredictable forces. Looking beyond the harbor, one can almost feel a gentle breeze carrying whispers of salty air mingled with sounds of seagulls overhead. This photograph transports us back to an era when simplicity reigned supreme - where hardworking individuals found solace amidst breathtaking coastal scenery. As we admire this historical gem captured by photographer Herbert Hughes, it reminds us not only of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage but also serves as a testament to human resilience and unity within close-knit communities like Portscatho.
