Was great and comforting to see the young chap at 2:30 skimming stones where I always do the same thing in that same spot with 75 years parting us. Thanks for sharing the video!
In 1964 my parents, Ray and carol (RIP) spent some of their Honeymoon there - This video is probably the closest I will get to seeing what they saw...so thank you.
There is a glimpse in this film of FY19. Here she is fully open decked and no fore cabin. Is this the Tosher that I knew in the 1960's belonging to Chris Cloke which now is still to be seen in the harbour converted back again to an open boat and lying at moorings under a fitted canvas cover?
Oh this is amazing
Thanks for this Phil. Lovely to see my hometown in this era.
My pleasure!
So different and so the same at the same time!

The simple joys of life never go out of fashion! Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for sharing the personal connection. My parents also honeymooned in Cornwall and moved their young family into the county 13 years later!

Could well be. FY19 launched in 1947. May need someone with more specific boat knowledge to confirm.
