We stopped for nice lunch on the deck of the Grill at the Great Marsh Brewing Co. on Sunday. We shared some delicious roasted cauliflower and I ordered the shrimp tacos. It is a great spot to eat with a view of the marsh behind the restaurant and the end of the Essex River right across the street. The food is delicious and while their beer and seltzers are phenomenal, they do have other drink options. I ordered a strawberry lemonade (strawberry and basil infused vodka with fresh basil and lemon and sugar).


What a difference from Sunday to Monday this week especially on our beaches. Still beautiful and sunny but Monday is a weekday and it was maybe 15-20 degrees cooler.

FOB David Collins read yesterday’s Gloucester Fire Department 1874 post and offers the following (very interesting) update:
Hi, Pat! I saw your article on the Gloucester fire department and the “Cape Ann” steamer. Loved it, as usual. I looked up Edwin Lewis Lane [1840-1916] and it appears you ID’d him correctly. His photo is shown at another point in the book.
So far, I can only get him to be your 22nd cousin 2 times removed but his wife, Mary, S. James [1843-???] is your 15th cousin 4 times removed. He is a 4th cousin to my family. I’ll work on it when I can over the next few days and see if I can find more on him and on some of the other fire-fighters in the group picture. Stay safe! David
PS If you are correct and J. P. Nichols is James P Nichols [1842-1920] originally of Harwich MA, then his wife, Mercy S. Cole, is your 5th cousin 4 times removed. His father was from Scotland. And if F. E. Davis, is Frank E. Davis [1851-1936], his wife was Alice Elnora Colby [1859-1920], and she is your 5th cousin 3 times removed. I will be checking to see if this Frank Davis is THE Frank E. Davis of the Gloucester fish company, which I think he is.
Thanks David! This is an awesome addition to the story.
