Alpacas at Bothways Farm in Essex

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Dean Burgess from Gloucester writes-

           I work at Bothways Farm in Essex .Here are the Alpacas that we have at the farm. I thought the GMG viewers would like to see something different in farm animals.As most may know Alpacas are from the South American region and are a cross between a camel and LLamas. Alpacas are herd animals and are used for their wool fibers.We have shaven these Alpacas and have sold the wool. I have seen these animals run very fast,just like a camel.The GMG viwers can see these Alpacas out in the front pasture as they drive by Bothways farm along Southern avenue in Essex.

Pilot Schooners From Al Bezanson

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey… From  a 1956 book privately printed by Second Bank – State Street Trust… two pilot schooners built at J F James in Essex, as they appeared in 1956.  One or the other could often be seen standing off near Nahant.  PILOT is now HIGHLANDER SEA and can be seen at Rocky Neck Railways.  ROSEWAY does day sails out of Boston this time of year and will arrive in Gloucester on Labor Day for a race to Provincetown.

There is a little gem of a museum in Scituate with an exhibit of the tragic wreck of pilot schooner COLUMBIA during the 1898 Portland Storm.   At that time Boston had seven active pilot schooners.

For Kathy Downer

FOB Kathy Downer has a cottage on Long Beach and had asked a number of times why no one on GMG ever puts up photos of Long Beach.  I’d never been there until Violet took me there during my intimate island tour.  So these photos are for you Kathy and everyone else who visits and loves Long Beach.
