Bill Hubbard Painting of the Alice S. Wentworth
Joe,
Attachment is my painting of the Alice S. Wentworth for posting on GMG. This is an Acrylic, Pen & Ink on 16X20 stretched canvas. It is one of a series of paintings I am doing on historical coasting schooners. She was built in Norwalk, CT. in 1863. Bought by Capt. Arthur A. Stevens in early 1900s. Completely rebuilt by Stevens and re-documented in 1905 as the A.S.Wentworth.
Regarded as one of the fastest coasting schooners on the coast, she hauled general cargos including lumber, coal, gypsom, salt and merchandise to ports from New York to the canadian maritimes. She often loaded salt directly from the big salt steamers that called atGloucester to fish processors along the coast of Maine.
My painting depicts the Wentworth passing Thatchers I. and setting a course into the Gulf of Maine. Loaded with salt in Gloucester and bound for Boothbay and other down east ports she has just come about and sprung her main and foresail wing-and-wing with the a dry sou’easter pushing her along.
I like to paint historic sailing ships doing what they were built to do. I’ve just started a painting of the just re-built 130’ Sch Western Union of Key West, Florida. She was built as a coaster in 1936 for and sailed as a Marine cable repair ship for Western Union Telegraph Company for 35 years. She has just undergone a $1.24 million restoration and will operate out of Key West as a tour ship.
I’m currently looking for old photos of the Lanesvill and Rockport granite sloops and schooners as subject for another painting. There are plenty of photos of Maine coasters and granits ships, but scant few of the Cape Ann boats.
Thanks for posting this picture, Joe, and a big thanks for Good Morning Cloucester .com – a great way for me to keep in touch with the Cape Ann scene.

Life Magazine: Gloucester is a top 10 beach town in America
Lover of all things Gloucester and huge supporter of our town Johnny McElhenny sends in this little Gloucester nugget-
Joey,
LIFE.com named Gloucester one of the top 10 most underrated beach towns in America. The list came out last summer so I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it. So that you can see it if you want, the slide show starts here and the slides about Gloucester are here, here and here.
I figured you’d see my tweet about it and say, “John, why the #%@ didn’t you tell me about this?!”
So I’m telling you!
John Mc.

GMG Introduced to the Elephants By local Good Egg Jo-Ann Castano
Hi Joey,
Andy and I are still on our wild journey through Sri Lanka and India. Pulled out the old GMG travelers sticker here and there along the roads. I actually wore it on my shirt at this on site location…. what a trip, this ain’t Gloucester.
Elephants don’t forget!
Elephants at the Pinnawela elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka introduced to Good Morning Gloucester Up close a friendly…
I started off wearing my GMG travelers badge because so many elephants to meet and greet.
Pinnawela orphanage is northwest of the town Kegalla, halfways between the capitol Colombo and the ancient royal residence Kandy in the hills of central Sri Lanka. It was established 1975 by the Sri Lanka Wildlife department. This 24 acres large elephant orphanage is a also breeding pace for elephants, twenty elephants were born since 1984, and it has the greatest herd of elephants in captivity in the world.
We headed over there to introduce the elephants to GoodMorningGloucester….. and they are big guys! Close up of one of the caretakers and some really big guys.
This guy zeroed in on Good Morning Gloucester sticker right away. Nothing like wanting to shake hands.
Greetings Good Morning Gloucester from Sri Lanka where the elephants come walking out of the woods to the
streets like we have deer.
Never forget…. it’s GoodMorningGloucester.com, now go tell the others….
Highly recommend visiting the elephants if ever in Sri Lanka and remember to bring your GoodMorningGloucester
travelers sticker badge.
