Description
Although many of the industries of the time are now non-existent in the area, Charlestown still remains a working port and has found itself a place on the tourist map. The charm and appeal of the village and it's grade two listed harbour still attract thousands of people every year to visit this historical part of Cornwall.
The pilchards shoals would visit Cornish waters at the end of the summer so the fishermen would prepare themselves during July, ensuring the nets and boats were ready.
1n 1847, 122,000,000 fish were exported from Charlestown. The end of the 19th century saw the beginning of the decline of the fishing industry and today only a couple of small fishing boats still operate from the port.

Awesome view! I've misread it and I understood Charleston, then after seeing the shot, I said in my mind "this has to be a very old shot, 'cause it doesn't look at all with Charleston, SC"...
