Gorton-Pew Salt Cod Box

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Here is another relic from Gloucester Fishing Industry Past,  An Old Gorton-Pew Salt Cod Wood Box.  I wonder if this box which now resides at Ron Gilson’s house ever spent time at our dock which was part of the Gorton-Pew Fisheries before it was Captain Joe and Sons property.  Part II of my interview with Ron Gilson from his house comes at 8:00AM today.

Schooner Adventure Sails Into Gloucester 1988 From Ron Gilson’s Collection

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

While at Ron Gilson’s house I saw this poster sized picture of The Adventure coming into Gloucester Harbor under sail in 1988.  What is interesting about the picture is that if you look at City Hall in 1988 it was surrounded by scaffolding under a reconstruction.  Some twenty years later it was surrounded by scaffolding once again.

Look for the first of a three part video series from Ron Gilson’s house satrting todat at 8:00AM

Beautiful Industry – Dragger Pamet

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The wire that comes off the winch goes through this block and is attached to the doors which get lowered into the ocean as the cable wire gets let off of the winch spool.

Harbor Cove- Fisherman’s Wharf and Captain’s Courageous- Site of New Latitude 43

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Much thanks to Frank Ciolino who brought down a bunch of old photos of Gloucester from roughly 1980.

Maybe someone could identify the building that is to the left of Captain’s Courageous in the photo.  I’m guessing it was the old Gloucester Grocery but I’m not sure.  There is an alleyway that provides public access there now.  In the post above this one, the Lat 43 sign is located on the left corner of the Captain Courageous building in this photo.

The Fisherman’s Wharf Building has been replaced after a fire a few years back with a corrugated steel building.

Dragger Pamet

Looking at the picture you can see the wire cable that goes through the block and is attached to the door.  When the wire is let out the doors go into the ocean on the port and starboard sides of the boat and help to separate the net which is dragged behind the boat.  Hence the term “dragging”  or “trawling”.

Geno sells these for $55.  A bargain for something hand crafted, painted, and local.  It’s even painted the official colors of the Lunenberg/Gloucester Dorys. There was one left last week so hurry down and get it!  Look for the last part of the Geno Mondello interviews coming tonight.
