My View of Life on the Dock
This is one of my favorite posts of all time and I owe it all to Peter Black Frontiero who granted GMG access to get on the Greasy Pole and Adam Bolonsky who captured the video footage perfectly for us.
I spent all morning pouring over every second of video footage to take these screen shots.
The pictures show the heart, strength, passion and determination of the warriors who put it all on the line in the quest for Greasy Pole Glory.
More videos coming all day long-

Hi Joey, I love GoodMorning Gloucester. As a librarian at the Sawyer Free Library I have a question. What do fishermen in Gloucester read? I would love to know their favorite books, magazines, etc. Thanks. Julie Preston

Don’t Drink and Drive – Be Safe This Fiesta Weekend
THE AMERICAN SCULPTURE WING, METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART NEW YORK CITY
Together with Augustus-St Gaudens Diana, there’s Gloucester ’s Paul Manship’s Three Bears side by side with Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington’s Jaguars.
What’s this?
Anna Hyatt Huntington Jaguars very curious and might pounce
The Met’s American painting wing is closed until Spring 2012 or Homie would have visited some other Gloucester artists and images.
Outside:
GMG readers know Manship’s famous Prometheus at Rockefeller Center ’s (skating rink!). If you are unable to go to the Bronx Zoo, where Manship’s Three Bears and Huntington ’s Jaguars adorn the entrance and were commissioned in 1932, right next to the Metropolitan Museum of Art there’s the Children’s Aid Society’s Manship gates installation. You can compare the Three Bears configuration to the one back inside the MET, which was on Manship’s property inLanesville for over 20 years. The Met’s label says near Gloucester , perhaps not knowing Lanesville is Gloucester .
That building past the Manship is the MET, so very very close and not to be missed!
Gloucester doesn’t make it on Huntington ’s label for Joan of Arc across the other side of the city, 92nd Street , Riverside Park, NYC. The label mentions another replica in SF Golden Gate Park Palace of the Legion of Honor, but where’s the love for Gloucester ?
Hard to see at first,
Spot Homie!
Now head to CAM for some Manships there and find this
And see Gloucester ’s Huntington ’s Joan of Arc completed for Gloucester ’s 300th, same time as Craske’s Fisherman at the Wheel.
NO PUBLIC ART WAS HARMED IN THE PLACING OF THESE HOMIE SIGHTINGS!

Applying The Grease For Saturday 2011 Greasy Pole
4PM Saturday, they are already halfway up the Annisquam River. Someone with a camera take a shot before they escape north.
6PM update: Well, shoot, flew down to the Goose Cove Causeway and must have missed them. Started chatting with a fisherman there and by the time we traded war stories I drove up to Hodgkins and they were already gone. Are these two real people or some epic fantasy?
Their position in Real Time here.
