Exmouth from Starcross before the railway

This is a reproduction of an 1850 print from the Illustrated London News. It shows 2 sailed fishing boats and 2 rowed boats on the foreshore at Starcross.  Another 2-masted sailboat lies at anchor on the Exmouth side. A few white-sailed sailing dinghies are dotted around the Exe estuary.
