EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in time, this vintage print transports us back to the picturesque Gorran Haven harbour on a serene summer's day, precisely on the 7th of June, 1909. The scene unfolds with an array of fishing boats gently bobbing in the calm waters, their vibrant colors reflecting off the glistening surface. Amongst them are skilled fishermen diligently tending to their nets and gear, embodying generations of seafaring tradition. However, what truly adds intrigue to this image is the presence of two distinguished gentlemen standing proudly on the quay. It is believed that they are part of a photographer's party led by none other than John Charles Burrow himself. These men exude an air of curiosity and admiration as they observe both the bustling activity and tranquil beauty surrounding them. The mastermind behind this remarkable snapshot is Herbert Hughes, whose keen eye for detail effortlessly immortalizes this momentous occasion. Through his lens, he captures not just a mere harbor but rather a glimpse into Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. As we gaze upon this historical treasure from within the hallowed halls of Royal Cornwall Museum, we cannot help but be transported back in time; our senses awakened by salty sea breezes and echoes of laughter mingling with seagull cries. This photograph serves as a testament to both Hughes' skillful artistry and Cornwall's enduring connection to its coastal roots.
