Identification
Item: Coasting Vessels: "Provident", "Goliah" and a schooner. Penzance Harbour
Description: Three coasting vessels at low tide in Penzance Harbour. The 'Goliah' (centre), a coasting smack, is listed in the Cornish Telegraph's Penzance Shipping section in April 1875 and September 1881 (articles attached). The 'Providence', possibly not the same ship is listed in September 1881. The 'Provident' was a brigantine, and may well have been a Prince Edward Isle built ship. Many ships built cheaply in the Canadian Maritime Provinces were sold to the UK. The gaff & pulley for discharging cargo is clearly in view on the schooner to the right of the photograph.
