Season Finale for the Pagoo
Not a bad season for the fearless Pagoo. She made her final trip from her mooring in front of the Annisquam Yacht Club, towards Gloucester Harbor, to River Boat Works and the Montgomery Marina on Sunday, November 6th. Way to make the most of boating season. Hopefully, in just a mere five months, the Pagoo will make the return trip for another blessed season of wind in her sails.

Cape Ann YMCA’s 8th Annual Taste of Cape Ann is NEXT THURSDAY
Cape Ann YMCA’s 8th Annual Taste of Cape Ann is NEXT THURSDAY
The most delicious fundraiser of the year is nearly here – it’s time to get your event ticket. Last year’s event included nearly three dozen food and beverage purveyors and nearly 300 guests!
The Cape Ann YMCA’s 8th Annual “Taste of Cape Ann” returns to Cruiseport Gloucester on Thursday, November 10, from 6-9PM. The event features the best of Cape Ann eateries offering food, wine and spirits for one $25 ticket price with the proceeds of ticket sales going to support Cape Ann YMCA Teen Service Initiatives.
The service trips enable local youth to spend a week working in communities hit by environmental and economic devastation. Teens participate in learning modules before and after traveling on school break to offer hands-on aid in areas of great need. The New Orleans Mission, now in its 6th year, originated as a Cape Ann trip but has generated enough interest to cause its expansion to include youth throughout the North Shore YMCA system.
Taste of Cape Ann is:
A great place for locals to sample food and drink from their Cape Ann food choices
A great reason to get out and support kids doing good.
John Jerome will be keeping us chill with some great live music while Gloucester’s best eateries will be keeping us full and happy.
Restaurants participating so far:
The list ROCKS this year. Join us on November 10th from 6-9 and samples sweet and savory treats from these great spots and others still rolling in. So many NEW fun places, plus goods from some Foodie Businesses. Be sure to SHARE…

GOOD MORNING GLOUCESTER BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE INNER HARBOR
The light oftentimes glows warm golden pink over the Harbor late in the day, at sunset. On my way to photograph Niles Pond Saturday morning, it was surprisingly beautiful to see overhanging the Harbor wispy vertical pink clouds.
I love the time change with the sun rising an hour earlier because I can get out and film before the work day begins. Lately we have been treated to extra amazingly gorgeous and sumptuous sunrises and sunsets!
Same morning, the view looking towards Smith’s Cove

The Grand Hotels of Gloucester
Wonderful post by Gordon Harris about the grand hotels of Gloucester and Cape Ann cica 1905. He has posted pages from an early 20th century guidebook, The Summer Hotel Guide, which illustrates and describes the grandest hotels of the day. Of the hotels Gordon has featured in his post, it appears the only hotel still standing is the Brynmere in Annisquam. Read his post here on Stories from Ipswich and the North Shore.
Does anyone know the name and/or have recollections of the hotel that was on Witham Street, adjacent to the Good Harbor Beach Inn?

THE SHIPWRIGHT AND THE SCHOONER RECENTLY PUBLISHED BOOK BY HAROLD BURHAM AND DAN TOBYNE
During Sunday’s podcast we talked about Harold Burnham’s book The Shipwright and the Schooner and mentioned the book signing at Strawberry Banke on November 12th. On Thursday evening, November 17th, Harold will be giving a talk and book signing at Maritime Gloucester (with spirits tasting provided by Ryan & Wood).
From the publisher:
The Shipwright and the Schooner
Building a Windjammer in the New England Tradition
By DAN TOBYNE – HAROLD BURNHAM
Beginning in 2010, Essex, Massachusetts shipbuilder Harold Burnham took on the challenge of constructing a wooden sailing vessel using traditional techniques. He cut the trees himself from his woodlot, and milled them himself at his boatyard. Using volunteer labor from hundreds of friends, acquaintances, and community members, and recycled and repurposed materials he constructed, in just under a year, the schooner Ardelle at a cost of less than $20,000.
The Shipwriight and the Schooner is an exploration into traditional New England shipbuilding, and it is a journey of discovery for both the author, who has spent his life building wooden boats, and the photographer, who had his first experiences in the boatyard. The book chronicles in words and stunning color photographs the construction, launch, and subsequent season of sailing aboard the Ardelle. The vessel is a testament to community involvement and a badge of honor in the age of mass production. It is a reminder of simpler times, when things were meticulously crafted by hand, and of a lifeway that has mostly vanished.
The Shipwright and the Schooner is published by Rowman and Littlefield and is available to purchase at Maritme Gloucester.
