EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of a bustling maritime era, this vintage print showcases St Ives' vibrant fishing industry in the early 1900s. The captivating view from Smeatons Pier reveals a harbour teeming with an impressive fleet of fishing boats, each one brimming with stories of hard work and adventure. Amongst them, we catch a glimpse of three notable vessels: the SS 513, SS 636, and 65 SS. The photograph's composition beautifully encapsulates the charm and character that defined Cornwall's coastal communities during this time. The intricate details highlight the craftsmanship behind these sturdy wooden boats as they bob gently on the water's surface. With their sails billowing in harmony with the wind, these vessels were once lifelines for local fishermen who relied on their daily catches to sustain both themselves and their families. Possibly captured by Arthur William Jordan—an esteemed photographer known for his exceptional eye for detail—the image evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when St Ives thrived as a bustling hub of seafaring activity. It serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage—a testament to its resilient fishing communities that have shaped its identity over centuries. This remarkable print from Royal Cornwall Museum is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a window into history—inviting us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds of St Ives' crowded harbour.
