Hi Joey,. Heads up in advance. I am writing to you to let you know there is a group of 8 Aussies coming over to go Wicked Tuna fishing starting 21st July.
We are all from the same yacht Club Sandringham Yacht Club in Melbourne Australia. The idea was hatched 12 months ago when we were all talking about Wicked Tuna on TV. I made a few enquiries and suggested to the team ‘ why don’t we go over and meet the stars of the show’. So we arrive Gloucester on the 20th – 26th and we are staying at Cape Ann’s Marina and are going out with Dave Newell for three days fishing in that week.
I thought this may be of interest to the Gloucester community to show people from so far away are coming to visit your city.
Any further info you may need if this is of any interest to your newspaper let me know.
Kind Regards.
Peter Turrell

As Published in National Geographic July 1953
“Let him who knows not prayer go to sea”
“Devout Portuguese fishermen of New England’s old port of Gloucester Massachusetts, who daily face the dangers of deep water, well know the truth of that old proverb. These men who wrest a hard living from the sea rely on Our Lady of Good Voyage, as well as chart and compass. And once a year, in early June, the vessels of Gloucester’s Portuguese fleet gather at the State Fish Pier to be blessed.”
Below are photos from the same; showing the Blessing of the fleet in 1953.
