We are absolutely loving the new breakwater in Rockport! A part of my affection probably stems from having watched it being constructed slowly, day by day and massive stone by massive stone, all winter long. Maybe even more so because of the fact that it was one of the worst winters in our history.
Finn and I walk to its end once each week or so to watch as Thatcher sails past in his Opti during lessons from the Sandy Bay Yacht Club.
We have been enjoying how each and every stone has a different pattern, shape, color, and “personality.” Not surprisingly, Finn has named a few of them. Oreo, zebra, camo (as in camouflage), whale, fishy, etc.
It is really, truly a piece of art and I look forward to watching the boys grow as they continue to navigate its surface over the next several years. I see lots of photos in its future.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Thanks for sharing these, Nichole! I enjoy watching the progress from afar. You have a great eye for beauty in nature especially.

Impressive. Where do they get those stones?

I read that the majority of the stones are between 4-8 tons and came from quarries in both Peabody and Wilmington.
