Ocean Reporter Tribute
Joey,
Billy Lee from Rockport lost his faithful hand-built fishing boat of twenty-four years on the crazy ledge behind Straitsmouth Island last month while showing some folks from National Geographic a close up of the lighthouse there (a bit too close for the outgoing tide). His boat and gear eventually ended up in a scattered rubble on the ocean floor, but all hands were saved.
A few neighbors and friends recently assembled a lighted tree floating on a Zodiac in Coast Guard Cove as a tribute to his remarkable boat and this remarkable man.

Gloucester Fisherman Story From Good Morning America 1982
Rosalie Parisi forwards-
Joey,
This was taken at your fathers Wharf in1982, it is a story about my family and the fishing industry.
In the end of the video my Uncle Charlie who passed last week is pictured weighing out the boat at our dock.
Uncle Charlie was a rock of a man, the strong type of family man who led the family by example.

How Do You Move A Thousand Pound Scallop Dredge? Very Carefully
Pete Mondello sold his old scallop dredge which he long ago sold his permits for to some guys from New Bedford. This meant we needed to get it out of the yard and up over the rail of a pick up truck into it’s bed safely without it coming crashing down and smashing the sides of the truck to bits.
We did it without incident. Video at the bottom.
Here’s an awesome video of a scallop dredge deployed over the side of a boat and working in the ocean from udcshel–

22,819,054 lbs of Fish Landed In 120 Trips- Our Grandfather Captain Joe Featured In Atlantic Fisherman Magazine 1952
Courtesy Fred Buck at The Cape Ann Museum
To compare this and put some perspective to this accomplishment you can compare that 22,819,054 he landed to the total number of all groundfish landings in one year by all boats in Gloucester in 2010 were 81,400,00lbs. His average trip over those 120 landings was 190,158.78 lbs. This was landings of groundfish, not herring or pogies or mackerel.
amazing
*Total landings of all species on groundfish trips were about 81.4 million pounds in 2010. This compares to landings ranging from 102.4 million pounds to 107.2 million pounds in the 2007-2009 fishing years. Groundfish landings on groundfish trips also declined from a high of 71.6 million pounds in 2008 to a low of 58.0 million pounds in 2010[11]. Non-groundfish landings on groundfish trips also declined from a high of 39.3 million pounds in 2007 to 23.3 million pounds in 2010 (Table 3).
