Last Act…

Hello Joey! Bill Dwyer here, was great bumping into you at the Cod in July! Hope the rest of your summer was a blast! I can tell by your posts it most certainly was! I just wanted to let you know that I’m putting together the 1st LIVE music show at The Salted Cod Arthouse on Monday 10/16. This first event will be free (no cover) and will run from 7-10pm. The bar will operate as usual for this time window. I will be performing a solo acoustic set followed by the amazing Molly Pinto Madigan! She is incredible. People can check out our music on all social and streaming platforms. I’m hoping you can give us a plug in GMG👍👍. It would be much appreciated and I would be very grateful. I’ve attached the official digital file artwork for the event, please use it however you like. Also hit me up if you have any questions or thoughts anytime! Thanks a bunch! -Bill

If you have ANY boating related needs you’d be foolish to miss it!

Going on now through Columbus Day

7 Parker Street Gloucester

I came across the Phyllis A Pilot House on the dock at Maritime Gloucester and was very happy to know it found a new home there! So appropriate!

Link to Seaport Trail Here- https://discovergloucester.com/seaport-trail/

As the birthplace of the U.S. fishing industry and the site of the first marine railway, Gloucester has been a beacon of maritime innovation and culture for more than four centuries. The Seaport Trail invites locals and tourists alike to immerse themselves in Gloucester and Cape Ann’s rich history, encompassing art, innovation, culinary delights, and a medley of adventures by sea, from schooner sails to whale watching.

Central to the Seaport Trail is a celebration of the abundant catch-to-table seafood offered in Gloucester and on Cape Ann thanks to the city’s active working waterfront, and home to the largest lobster fishing fleet in Massachusetts! Autumn in Gloucester promises an unparalleled variety of high-quality seafood options. Try lobster like you’ve never had it before: atop an angus beef burger, nestled in a quesadilla, lobster linguine, baked, boiled, rolled, bisqued, and more! Not to mention other timeless local favorites from the sea, like baked haddock, fried clams, fish & chips, a tuna reuben, ceviche, and seafood stuffed baked pineapple, to name a few.

“The Seaport Trail, highlighted through video and promoted digitally, is intended to make it easy for visitors to learn how to experience our history, art, award-winning cuisine, and famous passion for the sea, in all seasons,” says Discover Gloucester Executive Director Tess McColgan. “This trail embodies so much of what makes Gloucester unique and true to its roots. We’re proud to share that authentic spirit and local stories through the Seaport Trail.”

Discover Gloucester’s Seaport Trail was funded, in part, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism. The project was made possible by support from the North of Boston Convention and Visitors’ Bureau.
