EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a distant view of Hain Line ships laid up off Woodbury Point, Kea, Cornwall in the early 1900s. The Hain Line was established by Sir Edward Hain, a prominent shipping owner and politician from Cornwall. Known for his contributions to both the maritime industry and politics, Sir Edward represented St Ives as a Liberal Unionist from 1900 to 1904 and as a Liberal from 1904 to 1906. The image showcases the grandeur of these majestic vessels peacefully anchored in the serene waters off Woodbury Point. With their towering masts reaching towards the sky, they stand as proud symbols of Cornwall's rich maritime heritage. It is believed that Arthur William Jordan may have been behind the lens, capturing this remarkable moment frozen in time. Sir Edward's shipping company, Hain Line, played an integral role in connecting Cornwall with various parts of the world through its extensive network. However, it eventually became part of Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) after being sold to them along with British-India Steam Navigation Company. This evocative photograph serves as a testament to not only Sir Edward Hain's legacy but also to the importance of seafaring trade in shaping Cornwall's history. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, it allows us to glimpse into an era when these ships ruled the seas and served as lifelines for communities across continents.
