Out into the fog we went with thirty-eight descendants of Capt. Jeff Thomas, crew members and dorymen Frank Redmond, Samuel Amirault, Willie Muise (30 & 40’s) and Lovitt E. Spinney. We also had relatives of the boat builder, John G. James. The niece of Captain Frank Mitchell was aboard, she told me the story of how he rode out the Hurricane of 1938 with 140,000 lbs of fish in the hold and made it back to Boston, all safe.
In and out of the fog all afternoon it was an amazing day hearing the families stories and memories. One family member brought a cannon on board and we were able to fire twice, just another fantastic Adventure!
As we headed in Schooner Lannon and Ardelle headed out for there second trip in the fog.
Good Morning Gloucester
