The Original Schooner Columbia Was Built At Story Shipyard In Essex Ma- Now Recreated In Steel

The Schooner Colombia was built in 1923 and sank in 1927.  It was built as a racer but has a storied history in it’s short 4 year life.  When it sank it lost all hands and those names are on the Cenotaph on the plaque representing 1927.

Watch the video and see the construction in which no expense was spared.  What a thing of beauty.

Baby Turkey Mini Video and Happy Thanksgiving to All Our GMG FOBs!

What a beautiful (and entertaining) surprise I experienced this past summer when filming B-roll and the milkweed patch at Waring Field in Rockport. From a distance the elusive hen was observed and I was delighted to see, upon coming closer to film her, that she had four little babies in tow (turkey babies are called poults).

Happy Thanksgiving!

A lovely note from GMG FOB Leslie Heffron:

Hi Joey –

Here’s a painting I did of apples. I wanted to share it with Kim in response to her “Apple Pie Centrale” photo. Apple pie is my favorite to make!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the contributors of the blog. I appreciate all you do for the community!

Leslie

Thank you Leslie for your thoughtful note and for sharing your beautiful painting!!
