Ships in the harbour at Fowey, Cornwall. 1914". Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating maritime history of Fowey with this extraordinary print from 1914. The bustling harbor comes to life as two magnificent vessels take center stage: the SS Tenbergen of Rotterdam and an unidentified barque. Captured by the talented photographer Herbert Hughes, this snapshot transports us to a bygone era when sail dominated these waters. The sheer grandeur of these ships is awe-inspiring; their masts reaching towards the sky, proudly displaying their intricate rigging against a backdrop of picturesque Cornish cliffs. The SS Tenbergen stands tall, emanating power and elegance with its steam-powered engines ready for action. Alongside it rests an enigmatic barque, its origins shrouded in mystery yet exuding undeniable charm. As you gaze upon this remarkable scene, imagine the hustle and bustle that once filled these shores - sailors hoisting sails, merchants loading cargo onto waiting carts, and seagulls soaring above searching for remnants of fisherman's luck. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies the spirit of adventure that has coursed through Fowey's veins for centuries. Let your imagination set sail on these historic waters as you admire this exquisite piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection – a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage.
