Fred Buck Answers The Call Re: Photos Of The Rosemarie

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

A couple of days ago Mary Ann Anderson wrote in asking for help finding photos of her grandfather’s fishing boat, The Rosemarie-

Hi Joey,

I’m looking for some old photos of my grandfather’s fishing boat the Rosemarie. I was wondering if you could put something on the Good Morning Gloucester website to see if anyone has some. The boat sank years ago. My brother (Tom Scola) and I don’t have. My father, Joe Scola, is now 88 and would love to see some. Please let me know if this is something that can be done. Thank you.

Fred Buck who works in the photo department at the Cape Ann Museum dug around and  came through for us!

Fred wrote me yesterday-

Thomas Huxley Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.”

Thomas Huxley (1825-1895) Click the picture to go to the Thomas Huxley wiki page

image

A self-taught anatomist and comparative biologist, Huxley was ship’s surgeon on a very early voyage to New Guinea and Australia. He was a vociferous champion of Darwin and invented the word “agnostic” to describe his own thoughts about a supreme being. It was Huxley who first theorized that birds evolved from dinosaurs and who was the primary proponent of scientific education in 19th century Britain. A lifelong humanist and prolific essayist, Huxley’s grandsons include Sir Julian Huxley, first director of UNESCO, and Aldous Huxley, author of Doors of Perception and Brave New World.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Workshop LogoArt

Hi Joey, thanks so much for including my photos in your site and directing viewers to my flickr site. I’m retired and have found it’s a great enjoyment to be involved in photography. I volunteer at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum and have been documenting there vast collection of artifacts with digital photos and also covering the many events they have though out the year.
    Each year 3 local guys and myself teach an all-day digital photography workshop at the museum’s Waterline Center. All the proceeds go to support the Museum. It’s a hands-on all-day workshop and has been very well received.
    Is it possible for you to include the information and the enclosed photo montage for the workshop on your site? It would be a great help to the Museum.
    Here’s the information and photo…
Thank You, Sincerely, Len Burgess
Essex Shipbuilding Museum’s, 4th annual…
One Day Digital Photography Workshop!
Learn the basics and professional advanced skills of
digital photography in one day!
For beginners or advanced photographers
Grab your digital camera, and give yourself a day off to really learn the secrets professionals use to get great pictures. You will learn composition, portraiture, and how to use light to your advantage. This is not a lecture but a hands-on workshop, where we will give you photo taking “assignments” around the shipyard. Using a low-key, creative, collaborative  approach, we help you learn how to better use your camera and capture the image you see — an image you’ll be proud to frame.
You’ll need to bring:
1.) A digital camera (from simple point and shoot to the best DSLR).
2.) Your data cable to connect your camera to our computer.
3.) The software that came with your camera. 4.) Your instruction manual
(if you can find it).  No matter whether you are just a beginner or have been shooting all your life, you will leave a better photographer. 
Your workshop leaders are: Barry O’Brien, Len Burgess, Tony Schettino and David Delorey. The proceeds from the course directly support the Essex Shipbuilding Museum.
When: Saturday, May 7, 2011  Time: 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. 
Where: Essex Shipbuilding Museum, Waterline Center, 66 Main Street, Essex, MA 01929
Please enroll by: Monday, April 25, 2011, limited to 15
Full Day Course Fee: $ 45.00 
To enroll: call Barry O’Brien at (978) 282-8222
For questions: call Barry’s cell phone at (617) 967-1227
There will be coffee served in the morning. You will be on your own for lunch, bring a bag lunch or eat in a nearby restaurant.

Mary Ann Anderson Looking For Photos Of The Rosemarie

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,

I’m looking for some old photos of my grandfather’s fishing boat the Rosemarie. I was wondering if you could put something on the Good Morning Gloucester website to see if anyone has some. The boat sank years ago. My brother (Tom Scola) and I don’t have. My father, Joe Scola, is now 88 and would love to see some. Please let me know if this is something that can be done. Thank you.

On another note, I remember as a teenager, my father and his brothers would “take out” their fish at Capt. Joe’s. I’m assuming that is your grandfather. I use to work there for a short while before going to college. That was a long time ago. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, Mary Ann Anderson

Yep, we offloaded the Rosemarie for years. Great people.
