The smuggling exhibition is proving popular with many visitors having seen it on the internet. I'm thinking of opening my 200 year old creek-side cottage; a creek which was notorious for smuggling in years gone by. During renovations some years ago I came across what appeared to be a sealed cellar. Unable to open it without major demolition, I kept it as a feature. However, if I come in one morning looking the worst for wear you'll know I've broken into it and found some brandy casks.
The vintage boat 'White Owl' featured in 'Cornwall Life' magazine looks resplendent following her restoration by the museum team. In the photo she is being rowed away by the intrepid seafarers. Oh, on closer inspection it's Andy doing all the work with the bowman, who shall be nameless, resting on his oars.
