I dreamed a dream in sailor town, a foolish dream and vain,
Of ships and men departed, of old days come again—
And an old song in sailor town, an old song to sing
When shipmate meets with shipmate in the evening.

I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

I do, but being the author, I won’t tell. However, the vessel is the Benjamin C.
This is one of my favorite photos. There are many stories etched in those faces.

I love these old pictures. That’s why I love the book I have White Tipped Orange Mast. Great picture.
