EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the past. The schooner Atlas, gracefully resting on the sandy beach of St Ives harbor at low tide in 1904, stands as a testament to the rich maritime history of Cornwall. The boat on the left proudly displays its registration SS. 118, while our eyes are drawn to the magnificent Atlas herself. Built in 1840 in Wexford, Ireland, she found her way into the ownership of John Tregarthen Short, a prominent coal merchant from St Ives by 1902. With her ketch with top sail rig configuration standing tall against the backdrop of an Edwardian coastal landscape, this image evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder. The coastline stretches out behind her, hinting at countless tales of seafaring adventures. Photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captured this moment frozen in time – an exquisite blend of sea and land meeting harmoniously under a topsail sky. Although we know that eventually she met her fate and was broken up in 1912, for now we can appreciate this remarkable snapshot showcasing one small part of Cornwall's vibrant maritime heritage.
