Capturing the Essence of Cornish Coastal Life - Boats on Slipway, Portloe, 21st August 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Portloe in Cornwall. Taken by renowned photographer Arthur William Jordan, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the vibrant fishing community that thrived along the rugged coastline over a century ago. The view from the beach towards the village reveals a bustling slipway adorned with at least twenty fishing boats. These sturdy vessels, equipped with winches and lugger sails, were essential for sustaining livelihoods through their bountiful catches from the sea. Surrounding them are stacks of lobster pots - an iconic sight synonymous with Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. Intriguingly, amidst this lively scene lies evidence of daily life intertwining harmoniously with nature. Ducks and chickens roam freely nearby while villagers go about their business in the distance. The cottages dotting the landscape add charm to this idyllic setting, reminding us of how closely knit these coastal communities once were. As we gaze upon this evocative image captured on that summer day in 1911, it serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's enduring connection to its coastal roots. It encapsulates not only its reliance on fishing but also showcases how generations have lived off these shores for centuries – united by their love for both land and sea.
