EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the bustling harbor of Mevagissey, Cornwall, in the 1930s. The quaint fishing village, nestled on the Atlantic coast, is known for its picturesque harbor and thriving fishing industry. In this image, we see a colorful fleet of traditional Cornish fishing boats, each with its unique character and design, moored along the quay. The boats, with their tall masts and intricate rigging, are a testament to the rich maritime history of the region. Fishermen, dressed in their iconic blue and white striped jerseys, can be seen working diligently on the quayside, mending nets or loading their catch onto the boats. The air is filled with the scent of the sea, the sound of seagulls, and the bustle of activity as the boats prepare to set sail once more. The harbor, with its narrow entrance and sheltered coves, has provided safety and protection for fishermen and their boats for centuries. The quay, lined with colorful cottages and shops, adds to the village's charm and character, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fishing industry was the lifeblood of Mevagissey and the boats in the harbor were the heart of the community. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to thrive in this beautiful Cornish village.
