Charlestown Harbour is open to the public for the first time, with trade returning to the historic Cornwall port.
To celebrate, the Grayhound, a replica 18th century three-masted tall ship, delivered a consignment to the adjacent Shipwreck Museum and Heritage Centre, with visitors given the chance to buy items.
The harbourside has been closed for the exclusive use of trade ships and film companies, but now the public can visit and see an authentic 18th century ship, the Phoenix.
George Elworthy, new owner of the Shipwreck Centre and Heritage Museum, says: “We want to bring both the harbour and the museum alive again and pay homage to the explorers and traders of the past.
“We now plan to embark on a new era of trade.”
