Went With A Smaller Sized Clam For The Bake Stuffed Clams and They Were Outstanding

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Every Christmas Eve The Men Open The Clams. It is my favorite Christmas food that our family has been making for decades. Uncle Charlie and Auntie Angela were the ones that started it I think and Felicia and my mom do their excellent version of it both outrageously good and if I could only eat one thing on the holidays this is what it would be. I’m not sure if Felicia got topnecks or littlenecks this year.

Sista Felicia made the pinulata while we opened the clams.

Check out The Building of The Kingfisher Presented by Ron Gilson and Erik Ronnberg

DANA A. STORY ~ BUILDER

The following history is the story I promised, from the year 1947, when Gloucester’s Fishing Industrial Revolution was in full swing.

It is presented here from my memory as a 14-year old working on the Gloucester waterboat, “Wenham Lake”.  This F/V Kingfisher story is recounted from official Essex shipyard records; Dana Story’s Kingfisher construction photos; my personal records and interviews with E. Lewis Knickle, Kingfisher’s startup chief engineer; and lastly, my early advisory contribution to Erik Ronnberg, Jr., the model builder of the F/V Kingfisher.

Ronnberg is a nationally acclaimed vessel model builder, currently serving as Maritime Curator at our Gloucester Cape Ann Museum.

This in-depth presentation is for historical purposes.  The facts as presented are done so in hopes that this history will live on in Gloucester’s fishing industry annals.  Ron GilsonJune 2020
ERIK’S REQUEST

Ten years ago, Erik called me and asked “in my opinion” what vessel was the most innovative, modern in concept, architecturally designed, “easern rigged side trawler”, built in an Essex shipyard in the 1940’s era.
As Erik listed the desired characteristics, there was only one vessel that qualified. . . the F/V Kingfisher!Owned by business partners Larry McEwen and Thomas Hudgins, the 109′ Kingfisher was launched from the A.D. Story Shipyard, Dana Story, Builder, Essex, MA on Marc 25 1947.
