Beautiful Industry- Old School Cafeteria Inside The Birdseye Plant
Empty and collecting dust, this old school cafeteria hasn’t been in use in years. Hopefully with community participation and vision we can turn this non producing property into a vibrant community asset. Check out www.glosta.com to see the website with photos and info about the site

Lot’s of people say that their favorite pics on GMG are the Beautiful Industry ones. Something as simple as a well worn and rusted herring pump switch.

Dory Raffle Last Night At The Heritage Center
Last night the Dory Raffle was held at The Maritime Heritage Center. The International Dory Rowers Organization is full of very committed and friendly people who volunteer time and energy to continuing this great Gloucester tradition.
One of the best things about this group is their commitment to bringing regular folks who might otherwise not have any real connection or financial way to get out on Gloucester Harbor a way to really feel connected to it.
I know I’ve said it a million times but for a measly $50 you get to use the boats all year long. It’s the best bang for your buck in the the whole city.
Katherine Richmond conceived the idea to have an authentic handline dory built and to sell raffle tickets which would help pay for some of the costs to keep this tradition alive. Geno Mondello donated his time to build the dory.
A FOB, Brian the creator of the Brooklyn Blog A Movable Bridge drove all the way from Brooklyn yesterday to be on hand for the raffle in which he was sure he was going to win.
Great Gloucester People Doing Great Gloucester Things.
I have about four clips from last night which I’m in the process of uploading.
For now you can check out this video which was taken this past winter of Geno building the dory-

Fishing Movie – “The End Of The Line”
CAPE ANN COMMUNITY CINEMA
21 MAIN STREET – 2ND FLOOR
(ABOVE MYSTERY TRAIN)
GLOUCESTER * (978) 282-1988
SHOWN ON:
SAT. OCT. 3 @ 1:30PM
(DISCUSSION TO FOLLOW)
The end of seafood by 2048? Some people think so. If it happens, will consumers have been to blame? Politicians who ignore the advice and pleas of scientists? Fishermen who break quotas and fish illegally? The global fishing industry? The film suggests some preventative solutions that are simple and doable, but does the world have the crucial political will to react in time, or is this whole “Inconvenient Truth” about our oceans just a big lie? Narrated by Ted Danson.
Part of the “DoctoberFest” Documentary Film Festival.

Gloucester At Dawn- The Janel Leigh Propeller Cage and Keel
Do you see the cage around the Janel Leigh’s propeller? That is put on many lobster boats so that the propeller doesn’t suck in the lobster pot lines that might get wound around and either snap the shaft which drives the propeller or or bring the boat to a halt.

Gloucester At Dawn- The Janel Leigh Up In The Straps
Frank hauled her out to do some work on the propeller cage. She should be back in the water today and out lobstering tomorrow. Just like that.

Beautiful Industry- Greased Wire Cable Ready To Be Loaded On The Princess Elena
This post is dedicated to the lovely Ronna Resnick at Action Inc. She said she loves the Beautiful Industry photos.
This cable will go on the net reels and be what is attached to the net. When you hear the term “Haul Back” it means they will wind the cable back aboard the boat and pull the net back aboard.
So if you ever listen to the VHF radio and you hear a fisherman say he’s going to haul back, you know he’s just finished his “set” and hes gonna bring the net back aboard.
The grease will preserve the cable and give it a longer life. Below is a picture of ungreased wire cable.

Vintage Blocks On The Spirit Of Massachusetts
I wonder how old those blocks are. They are the same types we used to use years ago before we switched over to the stainless ones.
