Overbeck’s Museum, Salcombe, and a few views of the estuary and beyond

Some photos from the museum at Overbeck’s Museum, Salcombe and a few views… The shots include:

• a model of a famous sailing ship Herzogin Cecilie, which was wrecked nearby
• a model Brixham trawler (and an explanation of their work beam trawling)
• a portrait of Captain William Port of Salcombe, master of the brig Phoenix
• a splendid phot of a seaman’s family dated 1880
• a story about a pair of parrots
• Herr Overbeck’s famous medical electric shocking machine, a couple of boats for sale in Island Street
• a model of an old Salcombe clipper in the Sailing Club (grand building, good food and cheap beer, by the way)
• also in the club, a painting by celebrated Victorian artist Henry Moore, and a photo through an alley between two buildings that I wish I had taken…
• some Mirrors on a beach – this lot are all fitted with little outboards and their retired owners seemed to use them to picnic at a different spot around the estuary every day. Good for them!
• beach guards at surfing beach and Bantham, and the famous hotel on Burgh Island
• some local traditionally built boats picked out among the RIBs
• a mass of RIBs awaiting their generally red-trousered and stripey-shirted owners (following that, I’ve included a shot of a cheery looking dog on the beach at Mill Bay to cheer everyone up… )
