EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us to a serene scene near the Helford Passage in Cornwall. The image showcases a charming ferryboat gracefully gliding through the calm waters, its oars rhythmically cutting through the surface as it navigates midstream. The photographer behind this snapshot remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this historical gem. The composition captures not only the beauty of Cornwall's picturesque landscape but also offers a glimpse into daily life during that era. Amongst the passengers aboard this quaint vessel is a child, their youthful curiosity evident as they observe their surroundings with wide-eyed wonder. Cornish culture permeates every aspect of this photograph; from the traditional rowing techniques employed by skilled oarsmen to the unmistakable charm exuded by both boat and passengers alike. It serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and its enduring connection with its coastal landscapes. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print invites us to reflect upon simpler times when ferryboats were essential for transportation across waterways like Helford Passage. It reminds us of our shared history and encourages appreciation for those who came before us, shaping our present-day experiences
