Identification
Item: Shipwrights at work in Penzance Harbour
Description: Shipwrights are working on an unidentifiable vessel moored alongside the southern arm of the floating dock at Penzance. Timber staging is slung over the stern of this vessel with the young man nearest the camera standing on this staging. The shipwright with the white beard appears to be using a caulking mallet but the men are working well above deck level where caulking might normally be carried out, so the nature of their work is not identified.
