This neat little shop offers a wide variety of nostalgic items for your viewing. The store is set up nicely so you have elbow room to browse and Sabine is friendly and knowledgeable. In these first few weeks, hours will be variable so plan accordingly or check ahead. Email 80MainAntiques@gmail.com

Honor to see Cape Ann’s own Bobbi Gibb at the Boston Marathon finish line.

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Sunday Rick and I went to take in the spirit of the 128th running of the Boston Marathon.  It wonderful to feel the positive energy of this event.  Lots of music, runners from all over the world and the history of this event.

When the announcer introduced some of the past winners, it was exciting to see Bobbi Gibb.  Went up to speak to her and she was kind and excited to be there.  (thank you Rick for the photo).  Bobbi Gibb is an amazing runner.  See below.

Reblogged from Wikipedia:

Roberta Louise Gibb (born November 2, 1942) is an American former runner who was the first woman to have run the entire Boston Marathon (1966).[1] She is recognized by the Boston Athletic Association as the pre-sanctioned era women’s winner in 1966, 1967, and 1968.[2] At the Boston Marathon, the pre-sanctioned era comprised the years from 1966 through 1971, when women, who under AAU rules could not compete in the Men’s Division, ran and finished the race. In 1996 the B.A.A. retroactively recognized as champions the women who finished first in the Pioneer Women’s Division Marathon for the years 1966–1971.

Gibb’s run in 1966 challenged prevalent prejudices and misconceptions about women’s athletic capabilities.[3] In 1967, she finished nearly an hour ahead of Kathrine Switzer. In 1968 Gibb finished first among five women that ran the marathon. It was not until late 1971, pursuant to a petition to the Amateur Athletic Union by Nina Kuscsik, that the AAU changed its rules and began to sanction women’s division marathons. Kuscsik won the initial AAU-sanctioned women’s division race at Boston in 1972.[4]

Welcome Back Schooner Isabella

Posted on by Pat D

I underestimated how much I miss seeing our schooners in the local waters. I was attending the recent fundraiser for Maritime Gloucester and spied Isabella approaching for a special visit to the Gloucester House. My heart sang. I hope yours does too and perhaps you will consider helping Maritime Gloucester reach their goals in support of the upcoming 40th Schooner Festival Labor Day weekend 2024.
