I ask this question here as on the Cornwall24 discussion board I had a hostile response thinking my question was unworthy of their time.

I still feel there must be a reason for this practise, could it be people and parents seeing their children and loved ones away on liners in the evacuations to the States at the start of the war, or does it go back further?

Cornwall has that much water around her someone must know.

The main board is for serious issues.
It's just a nice thing to do waving your family and friends off.

Yes I agree its a nice thing to do, however everybody afloat waves to others afloat and those ashore, not just friends and family. I am sure it must have an explanation.
