Day: October 14, 2024

Hi Joey,

I’m wondering if you might know of a local repository in the Gloucester area that might include a record of marine events from the latter part of the 18th century?

I’m trying to find any details and source material on the disastrous December blizzard event that claimed the lives of brothers Spencer Treworgy, Jacob Treworgy, & James Treworgy off of Cape Ann. The various dates given agree on the month of December, but the year of the event varies from as early as 2 Dec 1776, 12 Dec 1777, to Dec 1789. The men were bound from the area of Blue Hill/ Surry/ Ellsworth with a load of lumber sailing to Boston. Below is one account.

Thank you very much for any reply.

Kind regards,

Kelly

Note there are varied spellings for Treworgy.

I enjoy attending the Quick Draw event of the annual Cape Ann Plein Air Week because all the artists are in a concentrated area for the same two hours of painting.

With Summer slamming to a close and it being cold and raw out we’re gonna do a roundup of the best French Onion Soup around town, probably including all of Cape Ann.

First stop was The Rhumb Line and as noted in the video, I’m reserving the right to go back to this one stop after we finish up everyone else as you can’t really give an accurate score without a baseline. So the Rhumbline came in with a pretty good score in our first review based on a bunch of criteria which I think we can all agree on- served in a proper French Onion soup crock, the cheese be the right mix and crusted over the top, the broth be hearty and most importantly, flavor.

here’s the Rhumb Line. please nominate local place where you think they have great French Onion soup for us to try. I already have nominations of Minglewood, 525. Let me know where you think we should go.

I’m trying to find the trailhead for Mt Ann.  I went down New Way lane but all I saw were private property signs.Is there another entrance?
