What the Heck is a Windlass?

Posted on by capeannpainter

What the Heck is a Windlass?

I never knew what one was until I viewed this video. I always thought it was probably one of the small sails on a Schooner. You learn something new everyday.

From the Youtube Description;

“What’s a windlass? The students from Cape Ann TV’s After-the-Beach Video Club visited the Gloucester Schooner Adventure on Tuesday, July 12, where some of the crew from the Schooner Adventure gave the students a tour of this historic sailing vessel, which is docked at the Marine Railway on Rocky Neck in Gloucester. Watch this short clip to find out about the ship’s newly restored windlass.”

Sean Hurley inks a copper plate etching for printing at his studio at Beacon Marine Basin

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Adam Bolonsky reports-

Sean Hurley, local artist at work in his studio at Beacon Marine Basin, just one of many artists’ beehives located throughout Gloucester, opens up his studio to Good Morning Gloucester.

Watch while Sean runs the first step in printing a large-sized copper plate etching: inking the etched copper plate.

The print Sean has created is far larger than 11″x17″.

And, attention, Gloucester and Rockport gallery owners! Sean has representation in New York, but none on Cape Ann!

Old Anchor Estimated From the 1800’s For Sale

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Dave Jewell aboard the Lady J got this anchor snarled up with one of his lobster trawls.  he brought it to the industrial boom over at the State fish pier where they hauled it off and now it sits at the top of our driveway here at Captain Joe and Sons.  It stands about 6 feet tall and many people like to use them in front of a seafood restaurant or business.  if you are interested in it, Dave is willing to sell it.  Let me know.
