Harvey Gamage–High and Dry
The 131 foot, 95 ton schooner Harvey Gamage is in town for this weekend’s Schooner Festival. On Tuesday afternoon it was moved from its berth at the State Fish Pier to Rose’s Marine where it was positioned, secured and lifted on the yard’s drydock for bottom cleaning and maintenance. The operation took more than an hour and involved both mechanical and hydraulic devices as well as a good deal of plain old muscle power.

Betty- GMG Adopt A Pet of The Week
Betty – Pet of the Week
Good Morning Gloucester! My name is Betty and I am a sweet and curious lady
who is 3-1/2 years old. I am staying at the Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester
until I am adopted. I am a rescue from Puerto Rico. I can be bashful, but
once I get to know you – I am a real snuggle bunny. I am learning about
leash walking and can’t wait to be adopted so I can walk
around Gloucester and show off my new family. If you would like to visit me,
please stop by the shelter located at the Cape Ann Animal Aid in Gloucester,
located at 260 Main Street. We are closed on Monday and Tuesdays, but
open the other days. I think I am a Jack Russell Terrier with a sprinkle of
this and that in my family tree. Because of my timid nature, I would love a
family with children ten years or older. Please…please….please consider
adopting. My life has not been that easy and
being adopted would make my life perfect. Just thinking about being adopted
just makes me so happy I could cry!
Thanks to Tina Ketchopolos for sending in the Pet of The Week

Bridge Fire Photos and First Hand Account From David Montgomery
While taking an afternoon sail on the Annisquam, we noticed a small flame under the bridge and saw someone running away from the fire while yelling. Then there were a series of explosions and the fire suddenly became much larger. We called 911 immediately once we realized that this fire was not under control. It wasn’t long before you could hear the crackle of burning wood as the fire continued to grow. Not only did traffic stop on top of the bridge, but waterway traffic also was halted by the Gloucester Harbor Police and US Coast Guard under the bridge. Eventually were allowed to pass safely under the bridge and head back home before the ebbing tide would have made it impossible to return to our dock at Montgomery’s Cove. We were relieved to learn later that no one was hurt and that the damage was minimal.
