Identification
Item: PZ277 Pioneer in Penzance Harbour
Description: Alongside the Union Flag, the flag on the mast reads ‘Logan (Rock) and Penberth Cove’. PZ277 Pioneer was a steamboat built by W Paynter of St Ives for Henry Hendy. Originally 36.6’ x 9.1’ x 3.8’, she was rebuilt in October 1906 to 43’ x 9.8’ x 4.8’, weighing 16.5 tons. Her steam engine was replaced by diesel in 1947. She was bought by Cyril Gascoigne and renamed Buccaneer in March 1977. She was bought by Jim Richards of Marazion, rebuilt and in 2014 is still being sailed. The dress of the passengers would suggest a hot summers day in the 1920s or 1930. Presumably Nanny is in charge of the baby on the quay.
