A couple of years ago, because of research I was doing about Gordon Parks in Gloucester and thankfully Joey posted on Good Morning Gloucester, I was able to interview Manny and Joanna Carrancho. Manny and his family spent considerable time giving me a detailed account of earlier events in their lives. They shared treasured historic photos and first hand knowledge and were a delight.  Part 2 photographs continue with a town procession from the state pier to the church.  

More photographs tomorrow

 Part 1

Please visit Catholic Community of Gloucester and Rockport for information and details about the Pentecost week.

      1. My family attended Our Lady of Good Voyage regularly during the 1940’s and 1950’s. All thought I was only eight years old when the statue arrived I seem to remember some controversy about the model boat, the Madonna was holding being the wrong type, not a Gloucester schooner, and having to be replaced.. Does anyone else recall this?
        Also I was able to identify my uncle Capt. Albino Pereira, of the FV Joseph S. Mattos, in one of the photos.

        2. I have two Power Point files one showing a comparison of the Madonna holding the boats at different times and one marked up to show Capt. Pereira. Would you like me to send them to you? Email?

        5. Thank you Reginald Santos for looking so closely! I will add your Uncle’s name, Capt. Albino Pereira, of the FV Joseph S. Mattos, to the photo captions. To the left behind the men carrying the statue or to the right?
