More about this scene
Polperro is arguably the most picturesque fishing village in Cornwall, and it has long been a favourite with artists and day trippers. Smuggling was important in days gone by. Here, the fishing fleet is home, packed behind the breakwater. The crane (centre right) was used to position long timbers across the harbour entrance to provide shelter during rough weather; today a swinging gate performs the same function.
