Finding fishermen in Victorian Cornwall
While the status of the miner on Cornwall’s coat of arms seems assured, warranted by their 30 per cent or so of the total workforce, that of fishermen is less secure. In contrast, the two per cent of the enumerated adult male labour force in 1861 who were described as fishermen suggests they were a much rarer breed.
Nevertheless, there were in excess of ten fishermen in just over ten per cent (24) of Cornwall’s parishes, this proportion being much higher of course if we exclude inland parishes. Yet Cornwall’s full-time fishers in 1861 were almost as geographically concentrated as its clay workers. Fully 55 per cent of fishermen were found in just two parishes in the far west. St Ives was home to 302 fishermen while Paul, containing the villages of Newlyn and Mousehole, hosted 748, more than one in three of all Cornwall’s fishermen.
The most unexpected aspect of the map above is the absence of fishermen on the north coast, particularly Port Isaac and Padstow. Just eight fishermen were recorded as such in the parish of St Endellion, which included Port Isaac. Meanwhile, we’re informed that Padstow was home to just two. Did these places really have very few full-time fishermen in the 1860s? Could there be missing fishermen, the local boats perhaps being at sea at the time of the census? Or were fishermen recorded as mariners, both parishes being home to considerable numbers of the latter.
More generally, outside Newlyn and St Ives fishing was likely to be more of a part-time activity. The many examples of men described as fisherman and something else in the census hints at this. Full-time deep-sea fishing was a growing industry but considerable numbers were still employed in seine fishing, taking the shoals of pilchards that appeared close to the Cornish coasts every year. Seine fishing was a part-time pursuit, heavily capitalised but employing men for only a few weeks at most. These are lost to us in the census, disguised by their more mundane and all year-round callings as masons, grocers’ assistants, labourers or whatever.

Now, just where did I park that boat?
As harbours go, Newlyn in West Cornwall, still boasts a substantial fleet of fishing boats, all jostling for space to tie up in the harbour alongside numerous leisure craft too.
As well as hosting its annual Fish Festival, Newlyn is also famous as the home of the Newlyn School of Art, established here in the late 19th century.#Newlyn #Cornwall #England #harbour #fishing #boats #landscape #photography

Back to 2009 and the emotive December lights of Newlyn and Mousehole in Cambridge, on Tom Bawcock's Eve. I loved the light on the brickwork and the message from this once thriving port, a reminder that Cornwall needs more than tourism for wages.

Wondering what's in store in 2023? Hope springs eternal! This is Henry Rheam's "The Fortune-Teller (The Wise Old Woman)," 1891. Rheam was one of the #Newlyn School, so this is a Cornish cottage, and someone very like a witch (with black cat, raven and stick) is holding court... https://victorianweb.org/painting/rheam/drawings/1.html #painting

Just looking at the post on the wandering #magnetic north and it's accelerating movement across the top of the globe, & I can't help wondering if it's related to climate change?
Not in a "climate change is messing up everything" but more in a physical sense. Bear with me.
I've been aware for much of my life (surveying at Uni) that the UK's OS #Newlyn datum is partly changing due to rebounding of the UK after the last ice age, after it was depressed by the weight of ice on the country.
