EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a snapshot of the fishing industry in Cornwall around 1900. The image showcases the majestic class A lugger Fiona, proudly sailing at sea with its distinctive sails billowing in the wind. This 7.6 foot, 27-ton fishing boat was registered in Penzance and owned by Henry James of Newlyn, who entrusted Thomas James as her skilled skipper for over two decades. The photograph reveals at least two men on board the Fiona, expertly navigating through the waves while pursuing their livelihoods as fishermen. In the distance, a man can be seen seated in a dinghy astern, perhaps overseeing operations or preparing to assist with any necessary tasks. Cornwall's south coast provides an idyllic backdrop for this scene; its rugged beauty perfectly complements the hard work and determination exhibited by these seafaring individuals. With row upon row of boats dotting the coastline, it is evident that fishing played a crucial role in sustaining coastal communities during this Victorian era. While we may not know the name of the photographer responsible for capturing this remarkable moment from history, we are grateful to have access to such an invaluable piece from our D. C. Vosper Collection at Royal Cornwall Museum
