EDITORS COMMENTS

In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the Roberts boat building yard in Mevagissey, Cornwall on a sunny day of June 5th, 1909. The image captures a remarkable scene of twelve skilled men diligently crafting boats with their bare hands and unwavering focus. The composition showcases the essence of traditional Cornish craftsmanship as these craftsmen meticulously construct wooden vessels using locally sourced materials. The sight of weathered planks and clinker construction techniques reveals their commitment to preserving age-old methods that have been passed down through generations. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures the camaraderie amongst these builders who work side by side, each contributing their expertise to create seaworthy masterpieces. Their faces bear traces of determination mixed with pride for their craft, embodying the spirit of hard work and dedication that characterizes Cornwall's maritime heritage. This photograph is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. It invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in boat building while also reminding us of the vital role these vessels played in connecting communities along Cornwall's rugged coastline. As we gaze upon this historical gem preserved within the museum's collection, we are reminded that behind every vessel lies an untold story - one filled with dreams set sail upon vast seas or journeys braving tempestuous waters.
