Description: Penzance Harbour Scene (late 1880s) – Lying alongside the western wharf, and riding high in the water, an unidentified barquentine appears to have discharged her cargo in Penzance Floating Dock. Thought to be one of the many vessels bringing grain to Penzance for the local flour and cattle-feed mills – Branwell’s, Bodilly’s, or Coulson’s. The buildings immediately behind the vessel are part of the Trinity House Depot, later obscured by the present buildings. Mathews’ Sail-Lofts stand on the right, with the east end of St. Mary’s church above.
Condition: Good - slight discolouration to the right and left edges and a spot of foxing to the right side of the photograph.
