Breaking in grilling season

Easy pickup with halibut from Fisherman’s Wharf and a baguette from Alexandra’s. All available veggies were thrown on. Of course, we started with Turner’s oysters again before firing up and topped it off with Captain Dusty’s. Enjoyed by all!

Happy President’s Day: FDR in Gloucester, Carrancho family and FSA photos

 

FDR in Gloucester MA.jpg

2015 Manny and Joanna Carrancho, Trib and Ken Joyce and extended family visiting from VA and elsewhere for reunion stop at the HarborWalk exhibition Fishermans Wharf  to see manny panel.jpg

You can find a historic panel about Roosevelt’s visit included as part of the HarborWalk Fisherman’s Wharf display. I’m posting this in tribute to Manny Carrancho. The photographs and history shared by Manny Carrancho (1923-2017), Ken Joyce and their family for the Fisherman’s Wharf exhibit make the FDR plaque incredible. The 2015 photograph above shows the beautiful Carrancho family at Fisherman Wharf by the historic plaque vastly improved by his photos, knowledge and stories.

Gloucester At Dawn -Fisherman’s Wharf and Saint Peter’s Park 4/26/10 4:55AM

Yes I know that by the book this isn’t a very clean picture but I just like it’s grittiness.

Gloucester At Dawn- Harbor Cove 4:45AM 5/23/09

Gloucester Zen Video Here tomorrow at 8AM

Here is a picture you really ought to see full size by clicking it and selecting “all sizes”  it’s probably one of the best shots I’ve taken in a while.

Fisherman’s Wharf, 1980 Gloucester Ma Pic from Frank Ciolino

This is the original Fisherman’s Wharf building on Rogers Street and Harbor Cove before the fire destroyed it.  Check back next hour for the picture of what it looks like today.

 

Harbor Cove- Fisherman’s Wharf and Captain’s Courageous- Site of New Latitude 43

Much thanks to Frank Ciolino who brought down a bunch of old photos of Gloucester from roughly 1980.

Maybe someone could identify the building that is to the left of Captain’s Courageous in the photo.  I’m guessing it was the old Gloucester Grocery but I’m not sure.  There is an alleyway that provides public access there now.  In the post above this one, the Lat 43 sign is located on the left corner of the Captain Courageous building in this photo.

The Fisherman’s Wharf Building has been replaced after a fire a few years back with a corrugated steel building.
