Hello,

I wanted to send in a couple of pictures I took in Gloucester on Saturday. The first one is on Atlantic Road early Saturday morning. The road was officially closed but I was able to walk in and snap a couple of incredible wave shots.

The second was taken at Eastern Point.

The third is at Stage Fort Park……incredible amount of rocks thrown out of the harbor and into the park!!

My wife and I bought a condo in the Stage Fort Area. We live in Woburn but spend as much time as possible in Gloucester enjoying the new pad! I look forward to snapping many pictures we can share with Good Morning Gloucester…….I love reading this everyday!!

Another Perspective from Dwight Hebert-

A couple times a week, folks on the back shore see these low riding barges near the horizon heading north.  They are carrying fuel to our neighbors in Portland and places further north.  This picture shows where is all begins in the East Boston/Chelsea channel tank farm. This barge and tug just arrived for another load of fuel.

Hi Joey —

Had a little slow time yesterday to look around at the Boston Seafood Show.  There was a lively crowd at Chicken of the Sea.

Joey,
Here’s a short story about two of the first Gloucester gillnetters that I hope you can use on GMG.
My grandfather, Capt. John A. Dahlmer  bought the 39ft. “Rough Rider” shortly after she was launched at Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1904.  She was one of the first gas-powered fishing boats on the Great Lakes.  The first picture was taken the day of her launch.  Grandfather brought her to Gloucester in 1910 and alternating in the command of Capt. Edw. Weiderman and Capt. Pete Tysver and Capt. Lawrence B. Dahlmer.  The second picture shows her at the Tysver wharf off E. Main St.
In 1909 Capt. John Dahlmer had the 63ft. “Margaret D.” built at the J.G. Laird & Son Shipyard in Ashtabula, Ohio.  She was named for and christened by my mother, Margaret V. Dahlmer who was 5 years old in 1909.  Later that year, or early in 1910 he brought her to Gloucester where she worked as a gillnetter and mackerel seiner.  The first picture shows her launch in 1909 and the second is of her, rigged for seining in Smith Cove.  She was wrecked on Milk Island off Rockport in 1915.
The captains Dahlmer, Weiderman and Tysver were among a group  of 10 skippers who brought their families and boats from Charlevoix, Michigan to Gloucester in 1909-1910 and established the first successful gillnet fishery in America’s oldest fishing port.  All four families settled on Rocky Neck and eventually moved to other Gloucester locations. Other families from Michigan who brought their boats and settled in E. Gloucester included the Arnold, Shoares, Lasley,Lafond and Place families.
The Michigan men earned handle, “Michigan Bears” by working together to do whatever chore needed to be done for their boats, no mater how hard or how heavy the work.  The Michigan men and their son’s went on to captain many other boats out of Gloucester over the years.

Saw some storm photos on Good Morning Gloucester and thought we’d share a couple of post-storm Good Harbor Beach shots taken from the Blue Shutters on Saturday and Sunday. There are even more photos on our Facebook page and bloghttp://blueshuttersbeachblog.blogspot.com/

The good news – as you can see from the “sun rays “ shot, Good Harbor is as beautiful as ever after a tough few days.

Hi Joey

Love GMG.  Took a couple of photos this morning off of Atlantic Ave as the tide was coming in.  Don’t know if you can use them. I love all the beautiful photographs of Gloucester that readers contribute.

Statues and Plaques in Gloucester From Peter Dorsey- The World War II Monument

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hey Joey,

Here is a World War II monument that many people might be passing by every day without knowing it. Located at the intersection of Gee Avenue and Washington Street in Riverdale are set of handsome granite steps and a monument dedicated to the residents of Riverdale who fought and died in the Second World War.

Taste of Home From Kate Young

Hi Joey,

I’m a faithful follower of GMG and I appreciate all that you do for Gloucester and all of Cape Ann.  We do live in the most beautiful place in the world.

My sister in California sent the attached photo she took at a grocery store in Buena Park, CA.  I thought you’d get a kick out of it.  She titled it “Taste of Home”.
