EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases an unidentified topsail schooner gracefully making its way out of St Ives harbour in Cornwall. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, captures a moment frozen in time as the ship glides through the calm waters, leaving behind a trail of gentle ripples. The view from Smeatons Pier offers a picturesque backdrop to this maritime scene, with the charming church standing proudly against the clear blue sky. The contrast between the towering masts and sails of the schooner and the quaint architecture of St Ives creates a striking visual composition. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back to an era when sailing ships were at their peak. This snapshot encapsulates both the beauty and power of these majestic vessels that once dominated coastal towns like St Ives. While we may not know much about this particular topsail schooner or its purpose for setting sail that day, it is through images like these that we can appreciate and preserve our rich maritime heritage. This print serves as a reminder of Cornwall's deep connection to seafaring traditions and evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times
