Mevagissey Harbour in the early 20th century illustration by Matt Johnson from Red Sails and Pilchard oublished by Design For Today

Red Sails & Pilchards is a 36 page, illustrated book that introduces Cornwall’s fishing history. It’s full of maps, cutaway diagrams and illustrations that tell the story of the county’s fishing harbours and wooden sailing luggers in the industry’s heyday of the 19th and early 20th century.
