I’ve been fortunate that Paul Horovitz has shared several beautiful photos of his beloved Annisquam with me….and this is one of my favorites. It has been neat to see the village and the river through his eyes.
This is Lobster Cove at sunset taken this past weekend.
The colors are striking…and as I played with it a bit, it took on an eerie layered feeling
Good Morning Gloucester

Sharing some tidbits here: (https://ipswich.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/agawam_lepionka1.pdf)
They and later historical linguists did not know about an ancient document proving that Annisquam derives from Wenesquawam, or, in present-day spelling, Wanaskwiwam (pronounced Wah nas kwi wam). That word–and the meaning of Annisquam—translates
as Wanaskwi “the end of” + wam “the marsh”. “End of the Marsh” is not as romantic as “Pleasant Harbor”, as local lore would have it, but it is certainly apt. The Annisquam River marshes are the last of the continuous “Great Marsh” stretching from Portsmouth to Cape Ann. Wenesquawam was corrupted in English first to Wonnesquam and then to Annisquam.
