Last week’s Mug Up ended with Rubber Duck being taken hostage by a pair of adorable but vicious ducknappers. Come to Mug Up this Saturday at 9:30 to see how this drama plays itself out. Will Paul Morrison buckle under and give in to the hostage takers extreme demands to gain RD’s freedom, will RD remain imprisoned (or maybe totally forgotten about and relegated to the back of a closet), or will Paul Morrison pull off bringing a massive rubber duck to Gloucester harbor to float outside Joey’s window and stare relentlessly at him until his Flexilis anatidaephobia forces him to give up RD? Come to Madfish Wharf Saturday morning and find out.

Yesterday I took my first short walk with no support other than my legs. Occupational therapist Shelly came over, I handed her my camera, and told her I was going to walk. Well, I did, after seven and a half months of grave illness and much therapy. I traveled 21 steps, and I call that a winner – Blackjack!

Coffins Beach Wreck: Some Details

Posted on by Marty Luster

As reported on Monday, (here) the Coffins Beach Wreck has been undergoing a painstaking examination to determine its identity and history.

At the site on Monday, Harold Burnham speculated that the vessel might be a chebacco boat, named for the parish that predated the Town Of Essex. Chebacco boats were known to fish north-easterly to Newfoundland and were first constructed at about the time of the American Revolution. Most of these small schooners were destroyed by the British during the War of 1812. A modern replica of a variant of a chebacco boat is the Lewis H Story, flagship of the Essex Shipbuilding Museum.IMG_0416_edited-1 Carved in the heavy stem of the wreck are the figures VI, indicating a fully laden draft of 6 feet. Buried in the sand is a V, or 5 foot marking.

IMG_0460 Adding to the mystery is this chunk of coral found among what is believed to be the ballast rocks discovered deep in the boat’s hull. What is a tropical specimen doing in a boat that presumably fished the Northeast coast?
