Dog Bar Question From Debe Holland

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Debe asks-

Hi Joey

I am new to Gloucester and am  loving learning about the town. GMG has been a great source of info. I am wondering if you have already covered this, or might know someone who could tell me..Why is it called the Dog Bar Breakwater? I know that it was built over the Dog Bar Reef, but why Dog Bar? What does that mean? I am intrigued.

Thanks for your great blog.

Anyone have an answer for Debe?

Captains Courageous Festival Photos

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey – I thought you might like to post this photo of 10 year old 4th grader Jack Kelly who volunteered to read from Captains Courageous at Cape Ann Art Haven on Saturday, March 5 during the Captains Courageous Festival. Note Jack’s multi-colored fingers – he’d just finished making fish prints with many other kids. They had a great time.

Also, photos of Jimmy Tarantino reading at GMHC are below.

Thanks, Anne Robinson
