  2. I too am in the hopes that this new Harbor Walk will bring tourists to our city. I love Gloucester and I know it has a future , not only by those we elect to serve , but also the youth that we so well educate. I only regret that I was not of that education , but I tank God for being self raised by the people and the leaders of our yesterdays. I submit the following

    Gloucester’s Edge
    By Peter A. Todd

    Sitting and admiring our inner harbor
    I can vision the Fishermen of Gloucester’s past
    Names that are now etched at the harbors edge
    Of the Fisherman’s statue in sunlight cast
    Our harbor embraced by the colors of our nation
    With the many flags that stand along its rails
    This our Island of Gloucester God’s gift of creation
    With its Fishing boats and Schooners at full sail
    Street lights that mirror years long ago
    Tourists and City folk strolling on by
    Dogs of all breeds chasing at their owners heels
    Under God’s sky of blue and cotton puffed skies
    Its walkway filled with statues of marble and stone
    Of the our heritage of our hero’s of yesterday
    Fishermen and soldiers who made Gloucester their home
    Now a place for adults to enjoy and children to play
    With this new walk which will help visitors know
    Of the History of our Fishermen of today and our past
    To be able to walk through the imprints of time that will show
    How the Heritage of one of the worlds famous Fishing ports is so vast
