Joey,
I was snapping around Harbor Loop last night, and got this shot of the Ardelle, I’m not sure about how submissions work but thought it was worth sharing. I’m Harrison’s son in law, and a daily reader of the blog, keep up the great work!

My husband brought this in to the beach Saturday as it was floating by with no diver attached. It is really nice and has ID on it so hopefully you can help locate the owner.

‘Stock the Tank’ Exhibit at Maritime Gloucester From Bill O’Connor
Hi Joey,
The ‘Stock the Tank’ Collography exhibit at Maritime Gloucester is closing on Monday, and I would encourage people to go see it before it’s gone! It’s a pretty cool exhibit that was created by Camilla McFayden with help of community members who attended her collography workshop earlier in August. You can stand inside ‘Stock the Tank’ and experience an underwater world without getting wet! Check it out on Heritage Day at Maritime Gloucester (free admission all day) or during business hours through the weekend!
People can read more about it through our story at North Shore Kid or by checking out our Flickr Set
Enjoy!

Schooner Adventure Leads Parade From Fred Bodin
The Legendary Gloucester Schooner Adventure
Adventure Wins, 1991 ©Fredrik D. Bodin
Tomorrow, Sunday, September 2nd, has a very significant event occurring during the magnificent Schooner Race festivities. Our own Schooner Adventure, built in Essex in 1926, will rightfully be leading the Parade of Sail around Gloucester Harbor, starting at 10:30 am. Adventure has not been underway for 15 years, due to extensive restoration. Although she’ll be under power, she’ll be sailing soon. The 121.6 foot long knockabout schooner is listed as a National Historic Landmark and a National Historic Place. There will be many a tear in Gloucester folk eyes as Adventure glides by, parading in her place of prominence as one of the greatest fishing schooners of all time; a living tribute to the 5,000 Gloucester fishermen lost at sea. Don’t miss it, this will be a show stopper. See it from the Fort, Stacy Boulevard, or Stage Fort Park. And sail on her next year.

"Is There Value in Your Old and Rare Books?" Find out September 20 in Gloucester
SAWYER FREE LIBRARY TO HOST LECTURE:
“Is There Value in Your Old and Rare Books?” Thursday September 20, 2012
Kenneth Gloss, proprietor of the internationally known Brattle Book Shop in Boston’s Downtown Crossing section will give a free and open talk entitled, "Is There Value in Your Old and Rare Books?” The 7:00 p.m. talk, sponsored by the Sawyer Public Library, will be held at the library located at 2 Dale Avenue in Gloucester.
The Brattle Book Shop is one of America’s oldest and largest antiquarian bookstores. Kenneth Gloss succeeded his late father, George Gloss – a well-known figure both in Boston and national antiquarian circles. 2012 is the 63rd year of Gloss family ownership. He had worked in the store since childhood and chose to go into the book business rather than pursue a doctorate in chemistry. He became the sole proprietor upon his father’s death several years ago. "I found that books were in my blood and that I would never be really happy if I abandoned the business."
Gloss will bring to the lecture several examples of notable books, magazines and ephemera from the store’s private collection, such as a 1912 World Series scorecard and examples of old LIFE Magazines. He also will show a sales brochure for the Titanic. "New England homes are treasure-troves for old and rare books that have increased in value over the years," says Gloss. Following the talk and question-and-answer session he shall give free verbal appraisals of all books that attendees have brought with them or will do so anytime at his 9 West Street emporium in downtown Boston.
Among the many organizations in which Kenneth Gloss is a member is the Antiquarian Booksellers Association, the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABBA), the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the New England Antiquarian Booksellers of America (NEBA), the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Antiquarian Booksellers Association (MARIAB), the Committee for the Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair, the Boston Society. He also is a Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society as well as serving on the Board of Overseers of the USS Constitution Museum.
The Brattle Book Shop is proud to have been a contributor to the WGBH Annual Auction each year that the station has held this fund drive. He has been on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow numerous times over the years and has been a popular guest on WBZ Radio as well as other radio, TV and cable stations numerous times. His bylined articles continue to appear in various antique journals and in print and online consumer publications. The Brattle Book Shop is also the recipient of several “Best of Boston” awards in the categories of Best Book Shop or Best Antiquarian Book Shop.
For further information about book-collecting, appraisals and future free and open talks, please call the Brattle Book Shop at 1-800-447-9595 or visit their website, www.brattlebookshop.com.

Al Copp Has Some Nice Things To Say
To Capt. Joe and Sons,
The ten lobsters we brought back to Baltimore on Saturday were steamed that evening for Laurie and me, our son and daughter and their families. Just as sweet as the ones you supplied us most every day for the last two weeks. The diners were amazed by the intensity of the flavors. Laurie and I just smiled — and relished the fact that they were as good as what we enjoyed while we were in Rockport.
Thanks for being such caring purveyors. See you next summer.

Joey,
Schooner Adventure is back in the water, masts are stepped, engine is installed, and we are ready to participate in the Joe Garland Parade of Schooners on Sunday before the Mayor’s Race. On Friday Schooner Adventure will be at the USCG Station for the Mayor’s reception.
Schooner Adventure has an open house at her Gloucester Marine Railway (Rocky Neck) dock during the festival on Saturday and a sensational free show featuring Mr. and Mrs. Fish, world-renowned marine educators, to help Gloucester celebrate the re-birth of Schooner Adventure, Gloucester’s own flagship.
Please post the enclosed on the GMG about Mr. and Mrs. Fish at Schooner Adventure on Saturday.
Also please post the information about Marion Hall’s art exhibit at the Khan Studio on Rocky Neck. Her reception on Sept 1 is the same time as the Schooner Adventure Open House and a portion of her sales will go to Schooner Adventure.
Khan Studio, Rocky Neck, Featuring Marion Hall’s Watercolors
Summer Marsh by Marion Hall at Khan Studio
Marion Hall, Watercolorist from Manchester, will be the featured guest artist at the Khan Studio, Madfish Pier, Rocky Neck in Gloucester. Her works will be exhibited from August 31 to September 13, 2012. She will have an Artist’s Opening Reception from 1 to 5 PM on Saturday September 1. Marion does naturalistic watercolors of Cape Ann scenes in Manchester, Essex, Gloucester, and Rockport. She is represented by the Eventide Gallery in Essex. During this special exhibit at Khan Studio, a portion of Marion’s sales will be donated to the Gloucester Schooner Adventure which is docked at the Gloucester Marine Railway a short walk from the Khan Studio on Rocky Neck. On Saturday September 1 when Marion is having her reception, Schooner Adventure will be having a Schooner Festival Open House and a free edu-tainment program featuring Mr. and Mrs. Fish, at Noon and 2 PM. Mr. and Mrs. Fish (Marion’s sister-in-law and brother-in-law) have appeared in the past as guest educators in the local elementary schools and at grand-opening events at marine venues around the world.
Gloucester Schooner Adventure has reached an important milestone in its restoration and marine education programs and will celebrate with an open house Saturday September 1 at the Gloucester Marine Railway, Rocky Neck, Gloucester. Mr. and Mrs. Fish will perform one of their marine edu-tainment programs for the public for free at Noon and at 2 PM on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Fish, who are Jeff and Deb Sandler, the brother-in-law and sister of Adventure Board Member Stephen Hall, have performed as guest educators in the past at the Manchester Essex Schools. Mr. and Mrs. Fish are known around the world for their innovative marine education programs, entertaining for both children and adults alike. They live in South Portland Maine, travel to schools and organizations on Cape Ann, throughout New England, and to international marine-oriented venues. They are featured at marine grand-opening and educational programs around the world. We are fortunate to have them help in the re-introduction of the Gloucester Schooner Adventure.
