Gloucester Story reflects our community in 1905

Ann Lodge and Robert Thomas in a 1953 dress rehearsal. (Photograph by Bill Worden. Clayton Stockbridge Scrapbook of the Cape Ann Museum Library & Archives, Gloucester, MA. Gift of Agnes B. Stockbridge, 1973. [Accession #2083])
It is a dramatic story of the doomed fishing vessel, Artemesia, and the conflict between the desire of a life at sea and the business of fishing.  It involves a schooner vessel, a business owner, and his son who wishes to crew on the vessel in order to have the life experience at sea and not be confined to a business life on shore.  The son has resistance from his parents and fiancé in his quest to go to sea, and as a result becomes a part of the tragedy which strikes.
