HARBOUR

1905

A bustling view of Newhaven Harbour at the dawn of the 20th century. Masted ships stand moored alongside early steam vessels, while a small sailboat glides quietly into the scene—a charming symbol of maritime transition. This was a time when Newhaven served as a vital link in the cross-Channel trade, connecting Sussex with the continent.

In 1905, Britain was navigating the Edwardian era—a period of relative peace, innovation, and growing industrial might. Harbours like this one were the lifeblood of local economies and the stage upon which the modern world was quietly unfolding.
