It will premiere in the former Cupboard parking area at Stage Fort Park during the June 21-22 Bunker Hill Reenactment along with other favorite food trucks and continue throughout the summer weekends. Genius!!! Best wishes Lunch Lady! **Images from The Lunch Lady Facebook page**
As of this writing, 2 of the 3 eggs from Annie and Squam’s nest near Lobsta Land have just hatched! It’s very likely the third will have hatched by the time you read this. You can follow along yourself at the Essex Greenbelt Osprey Cam. Thank you David Rimmer and Essex Greenbelt for the privilege of following this pair and their offspring every year! When I tuned in yesterday, one parent (Annie I think) was watching from nearby as the 2 babies bopped around in the nest by themselves. She soon returned and settled in. I’m sure a meal is on its way shortly. Enjoy the screenshots.
For the past 21 years, Maritime Gloucester’s Ocean Explorers program has brought marine science education to every 3rd, 4th, & 5th grader in the Gloucester Public Schools. We visit the classrooms in all 4 elementary schools and welcome these students to our campus to participate in exciting hands-on experiential learning in our Sea Pocket Aquarium, the Marine Science Education Center, onboard the Schooner Ardelle and so much more. Over the course of the school year, your kids interact with our educators a total of 6 times, offering invaluable access to the harbor, bridging a unique connection with our local youth in our own blue backyard. 21 years participating in our curriculum equates to the educational engagement of over 13,500 students!
As we mark this year’s final 5th grade graduation celebration, we want to emphasize the importance of this program in our schools and we urge you to consider supporting its continuation. Maritime Gloucester annually raises the funds to sustain Ocean Explorers as our gift to the community, but we now are urgently seeking funding to keep this program alive for elementary students across Cape Ann and beyond. To support Ocean Explorers into 2026 and help us keep this essential program going at no cost to the Gloucester Public Schools, please Donate Today: MaritimeGloucester.org/give-1

However, this time opening up the gallery to 10 artists, each with a fresh take on all things nautical. See the flyer below.

David Weeden, a member and Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of the Wampanoag Tribe in Mashpee, MA will talk about his tribe’s history of living lightly along the coast before Europeans arrived in New England and how traditional ways are being adopted to restore the health of degraded ecosystems in Mashpee.
Indigenous peoples throughout the world have known how to live sustainably and in harmony with nature. This program is devoted to the memory of Dr. Judith Oleson, a member of St. Paul Church and expert in international reconciliation. As Cape Ann deals with the increasing threats from climate change coming to our shores, we will need to rethink everything about how we relate to and steward our community and our ecosystems at risk.
According to Reverend Sue Kohler-Arsenault of the Annisquam Village Church,
“Some of the most significant voices in the interfaith movement to address the climate crisis come from Native communities. We are fortunate that someone who is putting his own community’s practices into use can help guide us towards next steps here.”
The event is presented by the Interfaith Committee of the Cape Ann Climate Coalition with support from a grant from NOAA.
thank you!!

I love ephemera! So I enjoy browsing at 80 Main Antiques & Ephemera (on Main St in Gloucester). Sabine, the owner, is always friendly and willing to help. I’ve been working on a little project and she’s been key in the development. She’s a great resource for such things! Anyhow, the shop is nicely set up with a variety of interesting items, many local. There’s a collection of Fred Bodin’s work (this is his previous location) and a great deal more as you can see here. I am a sucker for Depression glass so this is great fun for me. Perhaps it will be for you too.
Good Morning Gloucester
