EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling Mousehole harbour in Cornwall, likely taken around 1925. The scene is alive with the vibrant fishing industry that once thrived in this coastal village. A multitude of fishing boats, including working vessels proudly displaying their PZ numbers, fill the harbor's waters. Their sails are neatly furled, waiting for the next adventure on the open sea. The photograph not only captures a snapshot of a thriving livelihood but also showcases the undeniable beauty of this Cornish village. In the background, we catch a glimpse of charming cottages and buildings nestled along narrow streets that wind through Mousehole. These humble abodes serve as a reminder that behind every successful fishing venture lies an entire community supporting and relying on this industry. While we admire this remarkable image, credit must be given to its unknown photographer who skillfully captured both the essence and significance of these scenes from daily life in Cornwall during that era. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how work shaped coastal villages like Mousehole and highlights their deep connection to maritime activities. As we gaze upon this historical treasure from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, it evokes nostalgia for simpler times when hard work at sea sustained families and communities alike.
