Small leisure yacht, Coombe, Kea, Cornwall. Early 1900s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a serene scene from the early 1900s in Coombe, Kea, Cornwall. The image showcases a small leisure yacht gracefully gliding on the calm waters of the creek outside Beach Cottage. Three men are aboard the vessel, with one particularly striking figure catching our attention - John Stevens Scoble, a skilled shipwright who resided in Beach Cottage. The bearded man exudes an air of expertise and craftsmanship as he navigates this charming boat through the picturesque river. His presence adds depth to this snapshot of maritime history in Cornwall. Photographer Ernest Chegwidden skillfully captures every detail; from the intricate mast and sail that propel this elegant craft forward to the idyllic village nestled along the water's edge. This photograph is not just a mere depiction of transportation but also serves as a window into a bygone era when sailing was both practical and recreational. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time to witness firsthand how these small yachts were an integral part of daily life for coastal communities like Coombe. It reminds us of simpler times when nature's beauty intertwined seamlessly with human ingenuity on these Cornish waters.
