McCarthy- Representing Bass Rocks In The Sr Mass Amateur Championship Live Tournament Updates!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I will update throughout the day!

Our Boy Is In 2nd Place currently. Hitting a birdie on One!

Link for live scoring here- https://www.golfgenius.com/pages/4004542?fbclid=PAAaZrz____OBt4TfDZxto1xRGsOkhBnrEInPJK7swwN1DPu4Y2jUJGEPhpFg_aem_AUXh-BXEvXIWkZIyv92QvBzDi3DxbWldEWq14jHHTtzIce8F6d6fC4iL9sIwPy99MZQ

Through 5 tied for 4th two strokes off the lead

Another Birdie! Back to 2nd place through 8!!!

Current situation he’s tied for45th but about 23 players have just started or are within their first 5 holes. They obviously start at par so they would start out ahead of him and as they get bogeys they will drop down. The course will get tougher to play as the greens dry out and the heat in Hopkinton soars to 90. If half those players do worse than him he has a decent chance to play tomorrow and make today’s cut. #prayers 🙏🏻

Update!!!! He’s moved up to 35th at +6 on the day and the projected cut is +8!!! It looks like our boy is going to the final round tomorrow!!!! Woooot!!!

Thank You, Cape Ann Whale Watch

Posted on by Nichole S.

Thank you, Cape Ann Whale Watch! My older son, Thatcher, has had the awesome opportunity to work as a deckhand all summer on the Hurricane II. Watching whales, cruising the coastline, and heading to Stellwagen Bank, Jeffreys Ledge, or towards Provincetown with some great fellow crew members and the one and only Captain Johnny isn’t a bad gig for a 16 year-old who loves being on the water! I’m super thankful that he was able to secure that job and appreciate Jim Douglass and Nick Danikas so much for having faith in him. I’ve been dying to get on the water with him this summer and finally had the opportunity yesterday. Here are some of my whale photos, etc. It isn’t too late to book tickets to go see the whales. Trips will continue running until the end of October! Head to seethewhales.com to learn more and book your tickets! Be sure to check out Cape Ann Whale Watch on Facebook to see the photos taken by their naturalists and team members….as they’re way better than mine! Not only can you see their great photos, but their posts are incredibly informative and give you wonderful insight to what is happening with the whale population in the waters off Cape Ann.

Until Next year…..

The amazing Gloucester Schooner Festival

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Oh what a weekend.  Schooners were amazing and so calming.  The weather was totally cooperating with sunshine.  Would like to thank the Gloucester Schooner Festival’s Committee for all the hard work and organization.

On Sunday, Rick and I went on the King Eider for the Schooner parade of sails.  Beautiful day and great time.

 

Thank You Fishermen!

Posted on by Pat D

While we were out on the water re-creating this weekend, our local fishermen were hard at work. It seems logical to thank them especially on this Labor Day. Here’s Ramblin’Rose, SeaWeed, Trapper John, Bounty Hunter III, Hallett Cameron, Margaret and one unidentified F/V. Cheers, thank you all, and Godspeed.

Ernestina – in port for the Schoonerfest

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Susan Morreale contributes:

Hi Everyone!

You may have noticed the historical house plaque on the front of the hotel building showing an image of a schooner.

The plaques were designed in 1986 in a tombstone shape with a silhouette of the Ernestina in the arch. It will be be among those schooners featured in the Schoonerfest this weekend.

Ernestina was originally launched in 1894, restored in 1987, designated the official vessel of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1994 (original name: the Effie M. Morrissey) and named a National Historic Landmark in 1990 by the United States Department of the Interior. She is owned by the state of Massachusetts and is part of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.

Gloucester antique house historian, Prudence Fish (1935 – 2022), photographed the Ernestina in 1986 when it was in Gloucester harbor and submitted it as the logo for Gloucester Historical Commission (GHC) historical house plaques. As part of the Historical Commission, Pru oversaw the creation and distribution of the approximately 100 plaques throughout Gloucester, until her death last year.

The GHC historical house plaque project will be resumed this fall and continue to include a hand-painted silhouette of the Ernestina.

– Susan

ERNESTINA-MORRISSEY
Homeport: New Bedford, MA
Length on Deck: 106 ft
Schoonerfest Location:  Maritime Gloucester

Launched in 1894 at the James & Tarr shipyard in Essex as the Effie M. Morrissey named for Captain/owner William Morrissey’s daughter. She has lived her life out fishing the Grand Banks, exploring the Arctic, as a packet ship on Cape Verde and finally as an educational vessel. She was just re-launched this past Spring after nearly a decade of work to bring her back to life and continue her work as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ official sailing vessel.

– ERNESTINA earned an award in 1987 from the National Trust for Historic Preservation for “outstanding commitment to excellence in historic preservation.”
– In 1990, the Secretary of the Interior designated ERNESTINA a National Historic Landmark and listed her as in “excellent” condition.
– In 1997, the U.S. Congress established New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park and included ERNESTINA as part of the park.
