| Coast Guard, partner agencies rescue ill mariner near Boston Light
Posted: 09 Jun 2015 08:47 PM PDT 
Stock photo of Fishing Vessel Enterprise. BOSTON — The Coast Guard responded to a medical emergency on a fishing boat Tuesday one mile east of Boston Light. The master of the fishing vessel Enterprise contacted watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Boston’s command center via VHF radio at about 6:30 p.m. reporting they were en route to their homeport of New Bedford when a crewman aboard became seriously ill. A Coast Guard Station Point Allerton boat crew was patrolling nearby aboard a 29-foot Response Boat — Small and diverted to assist. Coast Guard Station Boston launched a rescue crew aboard a 45-foot Response Boat — Medium. Once on scene, a Station Point Allerton crewmember boarded the Enterprise, assessed the 61-year-old man’s condition, and remained aboard while the Station Boston boat crew escorted Enterprise to shore. On land, the Coast Guard transferred the man’s care to Massachusetts State Police and an advanced medical crew. “The master of the Enterprise did exactly the right thing by calling for help and heading to shore,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Silva, a response coordinator at Coast Guard Sector Boston. “From there, the great coordination between the two Coast Guard stations, the state police, and local EMS ensured a quick and effective rescue.” |
The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to welcome author Chester Brigham to the Museum on Saturday, June 13 at 3:00 p.m. Brigham will be reading from and signing copies of his latest book, Phoenix of the Seas (books will be available for purchase in the Museum Gift Shop). This program is free for members or with Museum admission.
Phoenix of the Seas recounts the journeys and travails of the Ernestina-Morrissey, State Ship of Massachusetts. The schooner, repeatedly written off as doomed, is now undergoing complete restoration thanks to a combination of state and private funding,
The Ernestina-Morrissey’s story is one of wide-ranging maritime adventures, lived by a remarkable cast of captains, crews and voyagers. Launched in Essex in 1894, she sailed to the Grand Banks from Gloucester for cod in the 1890s, voyaged to the Arctic every year for almost two decades on scientific expeditions, served under both the U.S. Army and Navy in the Arctic during World War II, crossed the Atlantic a dozen times as a packet ship, linking Cape Verdean-Americans in New England with family members on their home islands, then back in America under sail out of New Bedford she was a floating schoolroom where boatloads of school children learned about the wonders of their ocean environment.
Behind it all has been the ship’s indomitable spirit, sensed by all who have sailed her: Gloucester fishing captains Bill and Clayton Morrissey, Arctic navigator Bob Bartlett, Henrique Mendes on Cape Verde, round-the-world captain Dan Moreland. And by those whose lives she has touched: dory-trawling fishermen on the Grand Banks, hardy field scientists, Inuit hunters, GIs at remote weather stations, Atlantic islanders, volunteers who have sacrificed much for love of the ship.
Gloucester author Chester Brigham has written three other books relating to the maritime and cultural history of Cape Ann: On Opposite Tacks (2011), Gloucester’s Bargain with the Sea (2007) and The Stream I Go A-Fishing In (2003).
They are all in good working condition. They cost $25 each. here is a link to where you can get a recreational license and fish them yourself-

What’s on the grill at the dock today you ask? 
Set Up Smokey Joe For Grilling With Direct Heat using the Weber RapidFire Chimney To Get The Cowboy Lump Charcoal Heated Up. Fill Chimney 2/3 of the way with lump. Wait til coals on top turn white and dump them out evenly along the bottom of the grill.
Redfish is very similar to red snapper only smaller and less oily, more like a mild flaky white fillet. Gut the Redfish and trim as much of the fins and tails as you would like. I don’t go crazy because we’re basically gonna devour it with our hands here at the dock. Then perform three slices along the body to get seasoning in there just deep enough that you’re almost at the center bone.
Rub the fish down with some olive oil all over. Slice some onions and lemons and stuff the body cavity and then apply your favorite fish rub.
Arrange the fish on the grill and keep the top and bottom vents wide open.
Be very careful on the turns. I used a spatula to make sure the entire fish is separated from the grill before trying to perform the turn. The first turn should be performed about 15-18 minutes after the fish hits the grates. You can tell once the flesh turns white that it’s ready to flip.
After the first turn the other side should take another 15 minutes or so. again when removing from the grill gently make sure the entire fish is separated from the grill so it won’t fall apart when plating.
Delicious!
Time to make soup!
