Private Property?
Only 3 days left to join Patrick Stewart (whose new show premieres tonight) in supporting Ocean Alliance’s Snotbot!
You’ve heard about SNOTBOT, right? OK, maybe you’re just visiting, so you haven’t heard about this yet. Let me explain: few other Kickstarter pledges could be better for the future of Gloucester (and anyone who lives or visits here) than this one — really, no kidding. You’ll be helping Ocean Alliance develop revolutionary drone technology for whale research — and there’s no telling what they might discover. But what ever it is, you’ll be a part of it along with iconic actor Patrick Stewart (Jean Luc Picard on “Star Trek”, with a new show called “Blunt Talk” premiering TONIGHT on Starz)!
This is good for Ocean Alliance (which translates good for Gloucester because we want them to thrive here), good for whales, good for our planet, and good for all of us who will benefit from whatever they discover using this new gizmo! So pledge now right here.

A Note To All Our Awesome Cape Ann Summer Residents and Visitors- The Clock Is Ticking…
Thanks for coming to the island and making yourself part of the community. Just a friendly reminder before you leave though. We only have a couple of weekends before the summer rental folks head back “up the line” back to their main places of residence.
Before it all slips away I suggest that you take that evening sail on the Thomas Lannon, The Ardelle, the Beauport Princess or a Harbor Cruise Aboard The Harbor Shuttle, get to that awesome restaurant that you’ve been meaning to get to all summer long but haven’t been to yet, visit the museums you haven’t seen, buy that painting or awesome print that you’ve been admiring all summer long and support the community that you’ve been part of for the summer.
We appreciate your patronage and what you bring to our local merchants. It’s a long winter for a lot of these folks and often times toward the end of the summer people tend to just lounge around but then winter comes and there are so many things you wish you would have done.
The best part of the year is right here- squeeze every last bit of fun out of it.

Breaking… captain of the Schooner Columbia and this 175′ replica schooner will be arriving in #GloucesterMA Harbor next Thursday morning around 10am
Heads Up Schooner Committee and other key parties – I spoke to the captain of the Schooner Columbia and this 175′ replica schooner will be arriving in Gloucester Harbor next Thursday morning around 10am. (August 27th). The owner and builder, Brian D’Isernia, will be on board.
More information to follow next week but we want to give them a grand welcome and think about best ways to generate a “schooner mob” for this welcome home trip.

The Schooner Colombia was built in 1923 and sank in 1927. It was built as a racer but has a storied history in it’s short 4 year life. When it sank it lost all hands and those names are on the Cenotaph on the plaque representing 1927.
Watch the video and see the construction in which no expense was spared. What a thing of beauty.

UPDATE MA State House official Governor portraits come and go plus Dorothy Lamour
Cat Ryan submits-
I asked why Governor Baker selected Governor Volpe’s portrait for the Governor’s office at the State House.
Here’s an update and photograph from the State House curator, Susan Greendyke Lachevre:
“I have attached an image of the Volpe portrait, which was selected by the governor himself, as is customary, for display in his office. Governor Baker’s father served under Volpe while he was secretary of transportation In Washington…The State House is one of the oldest state capitols in the country, and the building is on the National Register. Renovations started almost as soon as it was occupied in 1798 with the coppering of the wooden dome. As a functioning seat of government and a popular visitor attraction, it gets a lot of wear and tear, and is constantly undergoing careful historic renovation or updating somewhere within its 600,000 square feet. I doubt if it will ever stop.”
Catherine adds:
The official Governor portrait for John Anthony Volpe was painted by Pietro Annigoni, 1963. Governor Romney and Governor Cellucci also picked the Volpe portrait by Pietro Annigoni. What about Governor Volpe? For his first term, Volpe selected a portrait of Governor Christian Herter. Herter’s father was artist Albert Herter who painted the murals in the House chamber. His grandfather, Christian, owned Herter Brothers, the legendary 19th-century cabinetmaking and decorating firm. I don’t have a picture of the Governor Herter portrait.
For Volpe’s second term, he displayed the Robert Gordon Hardie portrait of Governor Marcus Morton (1840-1841, 1843-1844).
For Volpe’s third term, he chose a portrait of Governor Leverett Saltonstall III. The Saltonstall portrait remained on view through 1975 for Governor Francis Sargent. At that time the predecessor portrait was displayed behind the governor.
I don’t have a great photo of the Saltonstall portrait, but I liked the signing ceremony with Hollywood star, Dorothy Lamour, visiting the State House promoting and presenting a War Bond prize:
“To the winners of the Ward Bond prize awarded to the first set of twin War Bond Babies Contest…Whereas the Motion Picture Industry has been designated as the spearhead of the US Treasury Department September Billion Dollar Drive for the sale of War Bonds and Stamps…extend thanks to the Massachusetts Division of the War Activities Committee and the undersigned managers and theater owners for untiring efforts…” The Governor’s office looks packed.
