EDITORS COMMENTS
Stern Trawler Conqueror Caught on Mousehole Rocks, Cornwall, December 1978" This evocative photograph captures the moment when the stern trawler Conqueror ran aground on the rocks at Mousehole, a picturesque fishing village nestled on the rugged Cornish coastline. The image, taken in December 1978, transports us back to the 1970s and the era of traditional fishing communities and the maritime industry. The Conqueror, a sturdy and well-used stern trawler, is shown in a precarious position, with its stern section jutting out from the churning waves, while the bow remains anchored in the water. The boat's once vibrant paintwork is now faded and worn, a testament to the harsh conditions it has endured at sea. The waves crash against the rocks, sending plumes of spray into the air, while the sky above is overcast and moody, reflecting the raw and untamed power of the sea. Despite the obvious danger and the potential damage to the vessel, the scene is not without a sense of beauty and tranquility. The rocks, worn smooth by the relentless action of the waves, provide a stark contrast to the rough texture of the boat's hull. The water, a deep and mysterious blue, stretches out to the horizon, where the line between sea and sky is blurred. The photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a fishing community that was once a vital part of Cornwall's economy and cultural heritage. It also serves as a reminder of the inherent risks and challenges that come with working at sea and the resilience and determination of those who braved the elements to make a living from the sea. This image, with its timeless quality and evocative atmosphere, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in maritime history, coastal communities, or the beauty of the natural world.
