EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the early 1900s, showcasing the clay jetty at Fowey Harbour in Cornwall. The image transports us to an era when bustling maritime activity was a way of life. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the Great Western Railway clay wagons lined up along the jetty, eagerly awaiting their cargo. These sturdy wagons stand as a testament to Cornwall's rich industrial heritage and its vital role in transporting valuable resources. Intriguingly, amidst this hive of activity, we catch sight of the SS Hero being loaded with its precious cargo. Towering above it all is a magnificent winch and crane system that effortlessly lifts heavy loads onto waiting ships. This powerful machinery symbolizes human ingenuity and determination to conquer nature's challenges. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye for detail has immortalized this moment forever. Through his lens, he captures not just a mere photograph but also a glimpse into history - one that tells stories of hardworking dockworkers and seafarers who labored tirelessly day after day. This evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum invites us on an enchanting journey through time; it beckons us to explore every nook and cranny within its frame. It reminds us of Cornwall's deep connection with both land and sea – where rivers flow freely into harbors teeming with life; where ships sail forth carrying treasures
