These are excellent, I have moved them from Credit Crunch album into the Penzance Harbour album; can you give us any details of the time, contract length, anything at all?
There did not seem to be a user gallery option so I clicked on Penzance.I have many more to put in , be easier to have my own . As for the dock pics well, I was just an interested observer.
It is a good picture isn t it. I know that the PDC have been in contact with us as they are looking to put a new website up over the Wet and Dry docks in PZ. I ll let you all know if anything come from this
I am planning on a visit to the Records Office to get more information on the Docks. I have been reading some old writings and accounts. I have the plans of the original Dry Dock, here.
There have been a number of such events over centuries; Dr Borlase relates his observations amongst others; I am trying to collate the accounts, not the least of which was 1014 and 1099, both with reliable person writing. It was then that our Bay changed; the very worst storm Penzance has seen was in 1817, and there the water carried stones of a ton or more in weight, as well as sweeping over the arms over ships and swamping and crushing them under the weight of water.
