EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Community: Coble Fishing Boat and Crew, Pembrokeshire, South Wales (circa 1900s) This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, as a group of men and young boys work together to move their Coble fishing boat along the shingle beach of Pembrokeshire, South Wales. The Coble, a traditional fishing boat more commonly associated with the North East Coast of England, from Northumberland to Yorkshire, has found its way to this part of the Welsh coast. The men, dressed in heavy, waterproof clothing, push and pull the boat, using their collective strength to navigate the rocky terrain. Four small boys, bundled up against the cold, sit on the ground, watching intently as their elders work. The sea, a deep and moody blue, stretches out behind them, its waves crashing against the shore. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler time, when communities relied on the sea for their livelihoods and worked together to ensure their survival. The rugged beauty of the Welsh coastline, with its craggy cliffs and rocky shores, provides a fitting backdrop to this moment of cooperation and determination. The exact location of this photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken in Llangwm, a small village near Haverfordwest in Dyfed, Pembrokeshire. This image offers a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the rich maritime history that has shaped the coastal communities of Wales and beyond.
