This short introduction to Cornwall's maritime past covers a wide range of topics. To the casual observer Cornwall's history consists of smuggling, wrecking and fishing but the reality was rather more extensive. As the author shows there was a very active maritime community with trade links across the globe. It is a maritime world that has all but disappeared leaving the occasional shipyard, slipway , sailmaker's loft or master mariner's house as testimony to a once vital and dynamic industry.
