Boats Harbour Quayside Rigging Sails Water Anchor
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling quayside of East Looe, Cornwall, around 1900. This print captures a picturesque view from near the landward end of Banjo Pier, overlooking the historic East Looe quay. The scene is alive with activity as boats and ships dot the water, their rigging and sails gracefully catching the wind. In the foreground, an unidentified two-masted brig rests peacefully at the quay, its anchor securely fastened. The vessel stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich maritime heritage and trade connections during this era. As we gaze into the background, our eyes are drawn to a large group of people gathered along the quayside. Their presence adds depth and character to this snapshot in time – perhaps they are eagerly awaiting loved ones returning from sea or simply enjoying a leisurely day by the water's edge. A solitary horse stands nearby, adding an element of rustic charm to this coastal scene. This remarkable photograph was captured by Surgeon Captain John Campbell himself – his signature etched onto its negative serves as both evidence of his skilled craftsmanship behind the lens and a personal touch that connects us directly with history. Transport yourself back to early 20th century Cornwall through this enchanting image – where boats dance on waves, anchors find solace in calm waters, and life unfolds along East Looe's vibrant quayside.
