The history of maritime Cornwall explored in books
Cornwall is almost surrounded by the sea, and its interior is deeply penetrated by its tidal estuaries. It is therefore of no surprise that seafaring has played such an important part in the history of Cornwall.
The Maritime History of Cornwall in quotes
"Nowhere is far from the sea in Cornwall and, indeed, as is so often said, Cornwall is all but an Island." The Maritime History of Cornwall
"The wealth of the Duchy, as they knew it lay buried deep in the hills of granite and in the waters that surrounded their cliff-girt home." Cornish Seafarers
