EDITORS COMMENTS
Transported back in time to the late 1800s, this print captures the picturesque Coverack harbour in all its Cornish glory. The tranquil scene showcases a quaint fishing village nestled along the rugged St Keverne coastline. As low tide reveals its hidden treasures, we witness a two-masted schooner gracefully moored alongside the sturdy harbour wall. The photographer's identity may remain unknown, but their lens has immortalized an era of Victorian and Edwardian charm. This snapshot transports us to a simpler time when life revolved around the sea and its bountiful offerings. Lobster pots dotting the landscape serve as a testament to Coverack's thriving fishing industry, while clinker boats bob gently on calm waters, ready for their next adventure. Intriguingly, horse-drawn carts line up near the shore, hinting at bustling activity within this idyllic coastal haven. These carts were likely used to transport freshly caught fish or other goods from boat to market—a reminder of how essential horses once were in daily life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, it is impossible not to be captivated by Coverack's timeless beauty. Let your imagination wander through narrow cobblestone streets lined with charming cottages and imagine yourself strolling along these very shores during an era long gone.
