“My name is Jim Tarantino and I have been rowing dories in Gloucester Harbor for over 40 years! Now that I am retired, I am fulfilling a dream to build, and make available to the public, the “Heart o’ Gloucester”, a traditional Grand Banks Dory, for adventures and to honor the Maritime Heritage of Gloucester’s great fishing history!

Summer of 2025, follow along as we take her from Gloucester, MA to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia!

Every penny of funds raised will go to:

– Trailer and transportation

– Maintenance & dockage fees

– A webpage and provisions, where you will get updates on the 600-mile maiden voyage and future trip”

We stopped for lunch at the Brown Dog on Central St in Ipswich recently because we were looking for a welcoming sit down pub like atmosphere. This fills the bill. Friendly service, varied menu and welcoming atmoshere are my top 3 parameters. I tried the (new to me) Northern End style sausage and pepper sandwich and Jim had a yummy fish sandwich. My sandwich was excellent and I think Jim agreed as there were no leftovers. The place is adorned with dog pictures and not just brown dogs either! I finished off with an Irish coffee which was a perfect ending to a lovely lunch.
