EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from around 1900 showcases the bustling Scoble and Davies Shipwrights yard in Malpas, Cornwall. The image offers a unique perspective from the water, providing a glimpse into the shipbuilding industry of that era. In the foreground, an unidentified sailing vessel gracefully rests at the tideline, its masts reaching towards the sky with an air of elegance. Meanwhile, further back in the frame, we witness a ship under construction - a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of these skilled builders. The scene is set against a backdrop of picturesque Cornish houses nestled along the riverbank. These charming dwellings add character to this industrial landscape while reminding us of Truro's rich history as a hub for maritime activities. Although little is known about the photographer behind this remarkable snapshot, their work has preserved an important moment in time for future generations to appreciate. This photograph not only captures an era when shipbuilding was at its peak but also serves as a reminder of Cornwall's significant contribution to this trade. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to an age where ships were meticulously crafted by hand and every vessel held stories waiting to be written on uncharted waters.
