BREAKING NEWS: Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle is BACK!

Posted on by Vickie & Peter
Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle

We just got word from Bob Ryan at CATA that, since the Blynman Bridge weight restriction has been lifted, he was able to scramble and get the Stage Fort Park Trolley Shuttle up and running starting on June 21!  See the trolley schedule here.  This is excellent news for everyone who drives in Gloucester during summer weekends because it means fewer cars — as well as anyone who benefits from tourists coming to Gloucester (which is just about everybody who lives and/or works here as I explain in this post).

Way to go Bob!

Dory Row, Gloucester

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
I shot this dory photo with a Nikon 500mm mirror lens. The heavy 500mm beast is known for recording reflected points of light as circles, or "doughnuts." Measuring almost 12 inches long, a tripod is required for sharp photos. Doughnuts do not a great lens make, and I was happy to unload it a couple of years ago.

You know how repetitive the work we do down here is.  Without a creative outlet I’d probably lose my mind.

All of a sudden, I see fishermen walking to the water with rods, anglers casting from the rocks, and boats trolling the shoreline at sunset. The season is here.

Ancient Riggs House, circa 1900

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
The Ancient Riggs House, on Vine Street in Gloucester, was built in the 1640's. Thomas Riggs bought it in 1661. It's one of only three surviving squared-log houses in Massachusetts, and the oldest existing home on Cape Ann. In 1998, it got electricity, heat, and running water.

Photos from Beauport Princess Dinner Cruise – May 31, 2014

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,

My wife, Tricia, and I enjoyed a cruise on the Beauport Princess tonight. I thought Good Morning Gloucester readers might be interested in some photos from the cruise (including one of Captain Joe and Sons). It was a three hour sunset cruise with a buffet dinner (prime rib, haddock, ravioli, and more) and dancing. What a fantastic value!

Best regards,

Frank McCall

Goose Cove, 1914

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
In this photo, the tide is coming into Goose Cove, taken 100 years ago this month. Most of the houses on the shore are still there. Photographer Alice M. Curtis's caption says it's "taken from the bridge." She used a tripod to steady her camera, and made a 5x7 inch negative.
