Sea Scouts Ship 5 crew and adult volunteers from Gloucester MA belonging to BSA Spirit of Adventure Council, chartered by Gloucester Elks Lodge 892, were joined by Sea Scout Ship 1791 Newburyport MA for the Coast Guard Auxiliary Annual District Training at the Woburn, MA Hilton.

Coast Guard Auxiliary District Training is a weekend of appropriate and effective training for all Auxiliarists in All Disciplines and spans the following directorates: Response, Prevention, Vessel Examination, Public Education, Public Outreach, Public Affairs and training.  Operational Auxiliary courses (AUXOP) ensures that the latest Policies, Procedures and Techniques are continually incorporated into the Auxiliary Certification Courses, Public Education Courses, Mandatory Workshops, and Mandated Training.

The weekend event marked the first time Sea Scouts were invited to join the Auxiliarist at their annual Northern District Training event.  The Sea Scouts from Ship 5 and Ship 1791 were honored to participate in morning colors, leading the Auxiliarist in the Pledge of Allegiance.  Additionally, the scouts were provided the opportunity to monitor District Training classes and assist in the event as needed.

 Ship 5 would like to thank the Coast Guard Auxiliary for including the Sea Scouts in this unique experience.  We are continually inspired by their dedication.

Avenging the Edward A. Horton

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Based on the 1871 true story of the capture of the Edward A. Horton, a Gloucester, Massachusetts fishing schooner and her brave Captain, Harvey Knowlton, Jr. The captain’s success depended on a traitorous smuggler, a daring crew, and a love-torn nephew who’d fallen for the enemy’s daughter.

Of the escape to bring the Horton home, tales were told, ballads were written, the cannon boomed and parades were held. A patriotic story of revenge for injustice on the high seas.

 

Advanced Reader Quote: “I absolutely loved it, great suspense! I cried when they brought the boat into Gloucester Harbor, just overall fantastic, patriotic and so much more than a story of a boat. I really didn’t want to put it down.”
