Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Workshop LogoArt

Hi Joey, thanks so much for including my photos in your site and directing viewers to my flickr site. I’m retired and have found it’s a great enjoyment to be involved in photography. I volunteer at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum and have been documenting there vast collection of artifacts with digital photos and also covering the many events they have though out the year.
    Each year 3 local guys and myself teach an all-day digital photography workshop at the museum’s Waterline Center. All the proceeds go to support the Museum. It’s a hands-on all-day workshop and has been very well received.
    Is it possible for you to include the information and the enclosed photo montage for the workshop on your site? It would be a great help to the Museum.
    Here’s the information and photo…
Thank You, Sincerely, Len Burgess
Essex Shipbuilding Museum’s, 4th annual…
One Day Digital Photography Workshop!
Learn the basics and professional advanced skills of
digital photography in one day!
For beginners or advanced photographers
Grab your digital camera, and give yourself a day off to really learn the secrets professionals use to get great pictures. You will learn composition, portraiture, and how to use light to your advantage. This is not a lecture but a hands-on workshop, where we will give you photo taking “assignments” around the shipyard. Using a low-key, creative, collaborative  approach, we help you learn how to better use your camera and capture the image you see — an image you’ll be proud to frame.
You’ll need to bring:
1.) A digital camera (from simple point and shoot to the best DSLR).
2.) Your data cable to connect your camera to our computer.
3.) The software that came with your camera. 4.) Your instruction manual
(if you can find it).  No matter whether you are just a beginner or have been shooting all your life, you will leave a better photographer. 
Your workshop leaders are: Barry O’Brien, Len Burgess, Tony Schettino and David Delorey. The proceeds from the course directly support the Essex Shipbuilding Museum.
When: Saturday, May 7, 2011  Time: 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. 
Where: Essex Shipbuilding Museum, Waterline Center, 66 Main Street, Essex, MA 01929
Please enroll by: Monday, April 25, 2011, limited to 15
Full Day Course Fee: $ 45.00 
To enroll: call Barry O’Brien at (978) 282-8222
For questions: call Barry’s cell phone at (617) 967-1227
There will be coffee served in the morning. You will be on your own for lunch, bring a bag lunch or eat in a nearby restaurant.

Essex Shipbuilding Museum Crane Pic From Bill O’Connor

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hey Joe,

When I stopped to snap a shot of the schooner Ardell skeleton today at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum, I came across this rusty, old, snow-covered gem.  While I was taking photos, a guy hanging around in the yard told me it used to be a school bus used in Essex back in the 50’s (circa ’54 or ’55).  They converted it into a crane and still use it around the yard. 

Enjoy~Bill O’Connor

Fulfilling a Legacy – The Essex Shipbuilding Museum Video By Barry O’Brien

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Barry Writes-

The Essex Shipbuilding Museum is located on the grounds of the A.D. Story Shipyard. In this small village of Essex, MA, in the basin of the Essex River, more than 4,000 wooden ships were built. The American fishing schooner was invented here. I created this video to help raise money to interpret, educate and preserve the proud New England history of Essex. I hoped to summarize the the story of the Essex shipwrights and mission of the museum.

Salty Dog Day at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum by Lily

Posted on by laurielufkin

Hi!  My name is Lily and I want to tell you about Salty Dog Days at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum on Saturday.

I went to the event because my Nana was a judge in the Dog Costume Parade Contest and I thought it would be fun.  When we got there, there was a dog water rescue demonstration going on:

I didn’t take this picture quite fast enough but it is a dog in the water.

and this is Salty, another one of the water rescue dogs:

This is Parker–he is a Newfoundland–and was part of the water rescue program

I went up on to the land and saw a cute beagle named Daisy:

Then the parade started.  There were only two dogs dressed in costumes but there were lots of dogs in the parade without costumes.  The winner of the of the costume contest was Black Dog the Pirate:

and the beautiful twin golden retrievers Dylan and Gladys who won the prize as the prettiest pair of dogs in the parade:

and Monk the St. Bernard puppy won for the cutest puppy:

And here is a picture of people looking at Harold Burnham’s frame for his new boat.  I got to sign the frame

The Salty Dog Days was really fun and educational–and I took a tour of the shipyard too.  My great grandfather Wendell Lufkin worked in that shipyard a very very long time ago.

I hope you like my post–be sure to leave a comment if you do.  Lily

Gardner H. Winchester II was born in Gloucester in 1958.  He was raised around boats in Annisquam and Gloucester.  His first boat was an original 16 foot Amesbury Skiff which he ran out of Annisquam.  He joined Sea Scout Ship 256 in Riverdale in 1969 and moved up to Sea Explorer Ship 56 in 1973.  In 1974 he crewed aboard the schooner Truant under Capt. Paul T. Harling on a summer cruise to Canadian waters.  He served two years as a guide at the Gloucester Fisherman’s Museum.  In 1978 he crewed with Capt. John Clarke on the Friendship sloop Irene out of Vineyard Haven.  He has served as racing crew aboard several traditional boats including Fore n Aft, a 1927 gaff-rigged Atkinson 28-footer, and Magic, a 41-foot Concordia off-shore racing sloop.  He has studied extensively the history of Cape Ann and its great fishing schooners as well as the traditional sailing ships the world over.  His first sailboat was a 22-foot Columbia, Olde Blue, which he bought in 1985 and sold in 1991 to buy his current boat, the beautiful 28-foot wooden L.F. Herreshoff designed, Jesse Boyce.  Both boats cruised extensively throughout New England.  He is a regular contributor to the message boards at Sailnet where his traditional anecdotes and suggestions have helped boaters around the world.

Essex Shipbuilding Museum to hold a Volunteers’ Day —TODAY!

Posted on by Sharon
From the Beacon–

On Saturday, March 13, from 9 a.m. to noon the Essex Shipbuilding Museum will hold a Volunteers’ Day. All are welcome.

The success of the Essex Shipbuilding Museum is due in large part to its energetic and motivated volunteers who devote countless hours to the museum. While there are many active volunteers, there is always a need for more. To recruit new volunteers, the museum is holding a Volunteer’s Day with two purposes in mind:

1. To provide an opportunity for interested individuals to learn more about the museum and the many interesting and fulfilling opportunities for volunteers, and

2. To provide an opportunity for existing volunteers to get a broader picture of what goes on in the museum as a whole and what some other opportunities are.

The museum has opportunities for seasoned professionals and raw newcomers to have a good time, meet interesting people, and have the satisfaction of doing something that will make a lasting difference.

The event is open to both members and non-members.

The day begins with an overview of the museum, followed by short presentations on each of the areas in which there are needs. Then there will be breakout sessions to learn more about specific areas. Time commitments and scheduled times vary with the area, and these will be covered in the individual presentations.

Some of the positions that the museum currently has needs for include: Educators, Tour Guides, Program Committee, Fleet and Facilities Projects and Maintenance, Lewis H. Story, Gardening, and Admissions Receptionist/Store Clerks

From Zanny-

“ZAT is John Wise’s Grave in Essex, at the Ancient Burial Ground on Main St…”

Congratulations! Enjoy your gift certificate from the Black Swan! (Thanks to Lorre and Dave Anderson!)

The Old Burying Ground
Behind the Essex Shipbuilding Museum is the Old Burying Ground, originally laid out in 1680 and enlarged several times until a new cemetery was dedicated in 1852. More than 2,000 persons are buried there including veterans of the French and Indian Wars, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. The first schoolmaster rests there along with many of the town’s shipbuilders and the first three pastors of the village church. The first pastor, Rev. John Wise, is buried in the center of the yard under the table-like stone. He was a widely read author who protested taxation without representation as early as 1687. When copies of his essays were reprinted and distributed throughout the colonies in 1772, his words set the tone for the American Revolution.  Gravestone art shows examples of typical 18th and 19th century styles.

This fan belt and radiator are part of the engine attatched to the Lister.  Notice on this fan belt that it is not one continuous belt but a series of interconnecting links that can be taken out or added to to adjust the size of the belt.   It’s good to have these aboard boats in case you need to replace a broken one while out at sea.
