Authentic tales of smuggling around the Port of Fowey, told with local color and real voices
This nonfiction collection invites readers into the old port town of Fowey, revealing how smugglers, coastguards, and town folk shaped a thriving “free‑trade” era. Through interviews and documentary notes, the book preserves first‑hand memories and the gritty texture of life by the sea. It also offers perspective on long‑gone customs, oaths, and the people who carried goods through hidden routes and daring getaways.
Drawing on local history and a lifetime of inquiry, the author pieces together the human side of a celebrated chapter in Cornish life. The narrative moves from formal records to intimate recollections, giving readers a vivid sense of mood, risk, and the everyday humor that colored these communities. The excerpts emphasize atmosphere, character, and the way people spoke about their past while reflecting on how times have changed.- vivid depictions of real people and their stories from Fowey and nearby ports
- how smuggling operated in practice, beyond the official records
- connections between local life, the coast, and maritime law
- a blend of historical detail with oral reminiscences that bring the era to life

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
