It’s always cool to take a little walk around the yard at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum on Main St in Essex. Some things change and some stay the same but it’s all eye candy to me.










Kayaks at the end of the day with the Magnolia Pier in the background.

The Gloucester Schooner Festival Digital Event Guide & Program is now available at GloucesterSchoonerFestival.com. A digital program allows us to continue to update vessels and schedule changes as they come in. We’re excited to be able to offer this digital version so all our fans can take part, no matter where they live.

The annual Fish Box Derby event is coming up soon (Sunday Sept 17 10:30 AM check in for cars and drivers). This is a super fun event held on Rogers St. near Gortons and if you’ve never been, it’s a great time. So much effort by drivers, families and sponsors to make the derby cars ready to race and it is appreciated! The inspections were recently held at Extreme Auto on Kondelin Road and these photos were taken by GMG Jim there. Thanks Sean!
