During
the mid-nineteenth century, ships carrying timber from Canada
(particularly Quebec) would arrive at Padstow and offer cheap travel to
passengers wishing to emigrate. Shipbuilders in the area would also
benefit from the quality of their cargoes. Among the ships that sailed
were the barques Clio, Belle and Voluna; and the brig Dalusia.
Traditionally a fishing port, Padstow is now a popular tourist
destination; although some of its former fishing fleet remains, it is
mainly a yachting haven on a dramatic coastline with few easily navigable
harbours.
