EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Peel Old Harbour and Castle ruins on the Isle of Man, circa 1910s. The quaint fishing village of Peel, located on the west coast of the island, is a picturesque scene of history and tranquility. The low tide reveals the ancient harbour, once a bustling port for the island's fishing fleet, now peaceful and still. The moored boats, with their colorful sails and weathered hulls, add to the charm of this timeless image. In the background, the ruins of Peel Castle stand proudly, a testament to the island's rich history. The castle, believed to date back to the 13th century, has played a significant role in the Isle of Man's past, serving as a fortress, a prison, and even a courthouse. The nearby warehouses, with their distinctive red-roofed silhouettes, once housed the valuable catches of the day, adding to the economic prosperity of the village. The quayside, with its worn cobblestones and faded signs, speaks of a bygone era, where life moved at a slower pace. The boats, now gently rocking in the calm waters, once sailed out to sea, braving the elements to bring in the daily catch. The old harbour and castle ruins of Peel are a reminder of the island's maritime heritage and the resilience of its people. This photograph is a treasure trove of history and a must-see for anyone interested in the Isle of Man's past.
