HISTORICAL PICTURES OF SHIPWRECKS ON THE CORNISH COAST

Incredible collection of photographs charting more than a century of Cornish shipwrecks taken by members of the same family.

  • The images of 200 ships were taken by four generations of the Gibson family over 130 years
  • A thousand negatives record the fate of their passengers, crew and cargo as they traveled around the world
  • Started when John Gibson bought his first camera 150 years ago and set up a professional studio in Penzance
  • The archive could sell for between £100,000 and £150,000 at an auction for Sotheby's this November
