EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to the picturesque coastal village of Polruan, nestled on the south coast of Cornwall. The image showcases a breathtaking view across the serene river, with an array of unidentified vessels gracefully navigating its waters. Moored boats dot the shoreline, while a bustling boatyard hums with activity in the background. In this snapshot frozen in history, our eyes are drawn to a prominent blockhouse standing tall against the horizon. Its sturdy presence serves as a reminder of Polruan's strategic importance throughout centuries past. Beyond it, we catch glimpses of charming houses that adorn Polruan's landscape, their rooftops blending harmoniously with nature's hues. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains unknown but has masterfully captured not only the essence of maritime life but also Cornish heritage at its finest. Three-masted schooners dominate the scene, their sails billowing majestically against azure skies—a testament to Cornwall's rich seafaring traditions. Amongst these traditional sailing ships lies evidence of progress and modernity—the steam-powered vessels that have revolutionized transportation and trade along this estuary. A steamer or steamboat can be spotted amidst its wind-driven counterparts—a symbol of technological advancement intertwining with tradition. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we cannot help but marvel at how time has shaped and transformed these shores—yet some things remain constant: Cornwall's enduring love affair
