Nice going, Paul. I drove by early this morning and thought they were the masts of Ardelle.
Next time I’ll actually get out of there car.
LETTE G is a magnificent schooner built in 1893 in Essex. She has apparently survived the difficulties that have engulfed the Seaport Museum in NYC, raised sufficient funds for an overhaul in Portland Maine, and is reported to have entered into a partnership with the New York Harbor School to serve their students in 2014. She has a long history, fishing out of ports along the east coast (including Gloucester) and the Yucatan.
Thanks Marhty! 🙂 I saw the masts and knew that the Ardelle was back in Essex. Give credit to my smart phone Galaxy s3. I’m just a dummy driving around Glosta!
We seem to have had a common interest with South America for some while. There are of course no limits to speak of for foreign factory trawlers, so if they can’t catch them here they get them there and we import the frozen product. They seem to actually let the crew go ashore as the last ship I recall had an African crew (no disrespect intended but it’s policy to hire African laborers fo save money on Italian ships,) for a couple hundred bucks a month they return rich men) Montavideo is a resupply port where 80 of the crew spent three dollars and we had to be air dropped a couple million units of antibiotics. My point is sailing from Gloucester or the Yuctan the small trawlers do not have the enviromental impact that these many factory ships that even unload to a mother ship at sea but we keep making laws that killed the industry here but are unenforcable in S. America. If there is a buck to be made it no longer stops here.
Good Morning Gloucester
