More about this scene
The King Harry Passage on the Fal at Trelissick was already an ancient crossing when this ferry was providing an important link to St Mawes and the Roseland peninsula. It was not easy to first get horses and vehicles on board and then row across the river. This photograph must date from the very last days of the old horse boat, because a new steam chain ferry was introduced in 1889; one of its successors still runs.
