We look after detailed records of fishing enterprises and fish cellars, including accounts relating to individual businesses. Crew lists and documents for almost 1700 individual vessels, and 47 volumes of shipping registers, provide a wealth of information useful for understanding the scale of Cornwall’s connections to the sea. Valentine Enys’ letter book gives a fascinating account of trade from Cornwall in the 18th century and the exercise books of John Tregerthen Short give us an insight into the skill of navigation.
