EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the late 19th century, capturing a moment of tranquility on the King Harry Ferry in Feock, Cornwall. The image showcases the ferry gracefully navigating through mid-stream waters, as seen from the Philleigh side. With its origins dating back to 1888, this steam-driven chain ferry revolutionized transportation across this picturesque river. The composition beautifully frames a majestic tree standing tall and proud on the riverbank, adding depth and character to the scene. Its branches gently sway in harmony with the gentle breeze that ripples across the water's surface. The boat itself is an impressive sight; its rustic charm and timeless design are testaments to both engineering ingenuity and maritime heritage. Captured by an unknown photographer, this snapshot transports us into a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace. It invites contemplation about simpler times when boats were essential lifelines connecting communities along rivers like arteries of communication. As we gaze upon this historical gem preserved within these four corners, we can almost hear whispers of conversations carried by passing travelers or catch echoes of laughter shared during those long-forgotten voyages. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our rich cultural heritage while also igniting curiosity about what stories lie hidden beneath these tranquil waters
