Identification
Item: Matthew's Ship-building and Repair Yard, Abbey Basin, Penzance
Description: Children are picking cockles in Penzance inner harbour; a lute-sterned yawl lies dried out in the centre foreground. Over 6 metres (20 feet) long with roller-reefing fore-stay sails, these boats are believed to have been hired out for pleasure cruising in Mount's Bay. In the right background a trawling or pilot cutter stands high and dry. A two-masted vessel is under construction on Matthew's building slip. This could be the Lady St Aubyn, a 2 masted schooner and the last such vessel built in Penzance.
