An Oxford graduate, Ruskin was the pre-eminent art and achitecture critic of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. His support of then modern painters such as landscapist J. M. W. Turner created much controversy, as did his criticism of others such as James Whistler. Ruskin’s hugely influential books on architecture, The Seven Lamps of Architecture and The Stones of Venice expound on social thought and morality while they dis Classical design and cheer on the Gothic Revival. Many of his ideas on social justice and the importance of work pre-figure William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement.

This is The First Part of A Ten Part Video Series-
CWO2 Luis Munoz extended an invitation to GMG to come down to the USCG Station Gloucester and see what it’s all about in anticipation of the upcoming Boating Safety Event. GMG Contributor Manny Simoes and I spent a fantastic morning at the station.
The entire crew at the Station was incredibly friendly and courteous and I can’t thank Chief Warrant Officer Munoz enough for the access he granted us..
In our first video we have FOB (Friend Of the Blog) Kurt Lubbers give us a tour or the inside compartments including the Survivors Compartment, Engine Room, Auxiliary Machinery Space, and All The Way Inside The Hold of The Boat.
You are cordially invited to attend US Coast Guard Station Gloucester’s Boating Safety Day. This multi-partnered community event kicks off National Safe Boating Week on Saturday, May 21st, from 9am to 3pm and will take place at USCG Station Gloucester. Our boating safety partners involved in this event include Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, Coast Guard Auxiliary, US Power Squadron, State of Massachusetts Marine Environmental Protection, commercial fishing safety representatives and many others. The goal of this community event is to put all aspects of boating safety back in the public eye as we approach our spring and summer boating season. We will showcase an assortment of search and rescue demonstrations, structured boating /paddling safety and Boating Under the Influence (BUI) forums, flare demonstrations, commercial fishing vessel safety, tours of Station Gloucester and vessels, as well as various informational booths.

It’s me again, Jimmy T’.s Secretary and I’m not sitting in his lap! We got the Practice dories painted up and ready for the next step, which is "Launch Day" Saturday, April 2nd. Hopefully that will go as smoothly as everything else has gone. We couldn’t have done it without our much appreciated volunteers. We’d love it if more folks would be so kind as to help out on launch day too. Boats will leave on trailer from Eastern Avenue Storage @ 10:AM brought to the ramp in East Gloucester behind Martinetti Dentist for launching, from there, they will be rowed to their Summer Home at St. Peter’s Square Dock. We need trailers, rowers, and folks to taxi rowers back to their vehicles. Last year things went great and we were done in well under two hours. Seeing the boats back in Harbor Cove will be a welcome sight, like Spring bulbs pushing up through the ground are now. It won’t be long!
Thanks so very much once again Joey, for your precious time and wonderful exposure.

Doug Silva who has been making some fantastic changes as manager at his father’s Topside Grill invited our posse to fill the newly renovated space with our photos. If you haven’t heard by now from Paul Morrison’s Seasonal Restaurant Openings list, The Topside will be opening April 1st.
We stopped by Saturday morning to drop off our work and I’ll be posting some images of each of our contributors with their pieces all week long. You can check it all out for yourself (and get some great grub) on April 1st at Topside grill.
