EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back in time to Mousehole harbour, a picturesque coastal village in Cornwall. The image showcases the bustling fishing industry that was once the lifeblood of this community. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the multitude of fishing boats and an array of fishing gear scattered across the harbor. At low tide, when these boats are unable to venture out into open waters, they find solace on dry land. In this photograph, we witness numerous vessels with their sails hoisted high, ready for action as soon as the tides allow. It is evident that every inch of space is utilized efficiently as men can be seen diligently working on their boats or mending nets nearby. The backdrop reveals a charming view of Mousehole village nestled amidst rolling hills and rugged cliffs. This snapshot encapsulates not only a thriving livelihood but also highlights how intimately intertwined coastal communities were with their natural surroundings. Photographed by A. W. N. , this image serves as a poignant reminder of an era when fishing played an integral role in sustaining Cornish villages like Mousehole. It invites us to reflect upon the hard work and dedication required for those who made their living from the sea while offering a glimpse into a bygone way of life along Cornwall's enchanting coastline.
