 two different views of Brixham Harbour in Devon


Unfortunately, the artist of the first one isn't credited, but E (Edmund) Nagele is credited for the chrome postcard. Brixham is the busiest fishing port in England.  I found a travel blog posted in August which listed so many places to visit, walk, and eat, but strangely did not once mention the replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship, the Golden Hind, which you can see in the inner harbour.  Personally, that would be my first reason to visit, with the views and food a welcome bonus.

I always head for the harbour first and that cute little boat would be a big bonus.
My postcard port of call is here

I would think the Golden Hind would be a big draw. Even I've heard of it! Not a lot of change to the harbor, but then there isn't anywhere to really go.

Both show a beautiful view. I like the colors in the first one.
