My View of Life on the Dock
All those resisting in Rocky Neck should feel safe, now that their guardian of the peninsular is being protected by a Boat Jaws. Just an observation looking into the Gloucester Marine Railway facing onto Ricky Neck Ave. LOL

It is such a gift to be able to walk Shore Road at sunset.

Like many others, I have always been quite fascinated with the fateful story of the great ocean liner Titanic, so it was a no-brainer when I saw there was an artifact exhibit coming to Boston. We bought tickets and traveled to the Castle at Park Plaza to see it. We’d been to this venue a couple of other times and they do a great job with events such as these so we knew it would be well done. And it was. You approach the boarding area through a kind of alley way set up to look like the docks (it’s actually a little confusing for a minute that the signs lead you to this alley). You are given a “boarding pass” that lists an actual passenger and a few details about their background and journey to this point. At the end you can scan your boarding pass to find out the fate of your passenger.
Visitors wander through a number of areas filled with photos, sounds, touch displays, and videos. Perhaps the most moving and impressive displays are those that include artifacts from the sunken vessel. I was most moved by the everyday items retrieved such as cash, eyeglasses, buttons, hairbrushes etc. These evoked the everyday lives shattered by this tragedy in a way no other movie or book has ever done for me. It’s a great idea for the history buff in your life. Further info at this link.
