Breaking News!!! Here’s the Official Scoop On The Birdseye Property From Sheree DeLorenzo
Where do you hear it first? Â GMG, Natch!
Beach Front Gloucester Commercial LLC, a limited liability corporation formed for the purpose of acquiring the Bird’s Eye property located at 47-61 Commercial Street along with 10 Beach Court in Gloucester, Massachusetts, has entered into a Purchase and Sales agreement to acquire these properties. Sheree DeLorenzo, owner-operator of Cruiseport Gloucester LLC is the lead project manager for the Bird’s Eye project.
“Our intentions for the property are in keeping with mixed use along Gloucester’s working waterfront. We have no intentions of condos at this site. However, this location is ideal for a hotel, restaurant and conference / function facility,” said DeLorenzo.
“We have shown with Cruiseport that it is possible to have successful mixed use projects that contribute jobs and revenue to the city,” continued DeLorenzo.
Cruiseport Gloucester LLC currently consists of a function hall, restaurant, commercial marina, and is homeport to national and international cruise ships. Cruiseport currently employs approximately 150 people. Nine commercial fishing vessels regularly utilize the Cruiseport commercial docks along with the LNG service tugboat.
“We want to work with the neighborhood and the city of Gloucester to bring about the positive change that we know is possible for the beautiful city of Gloucester,” said DeLorenzo.
Mayor Carolyn Kirk has been briefed by DeLorenzo and expressed optimism about this latest news regarding Bird’s Eye. Said Kirk, “these plans are in keeping with the long-standing goal of the city to attract a downtown hotel, expand the tax base, generate revenue, and bring about additional vitality to Gloucester.”
Additional comment will be forthcoming after the closing date which is approximately 30 days from now.

World’s Largest Sailing Yacht Drops Hook Off Dog Bar Owned By American Media Entrepreneur Barry Diller and His Wife, Fashion Designer Diane von Fürstenberg
From Peter Feinstein-
At 305 feet in length overall, Eos is the largest private sailing yacht in the world. However, much of that length is in the lengthy bowsprit. Maltese Falcon, built by venture capitalist Tom Perkins, is 14 ft. longer on deck and 20 ft. longer on the water.
Launched in Germany in 2006, Eos is called a "three masted, Bermuda rigged schooner." The vessel is currently owned by American media entrepreneur Barry Diller and his wife, fashion designer Diane von FĂĽrstenberg. The figurehead is said to be a likeness of Ms. FĂĽrstenberg. Eos is a Greek goddess, the "Bringer of Dawn," who rises from Oceanus each day to open the gates of heaven with her rosy fingers, so as to allow Apollo to ride his chariot across the sky.
- LOA: 305 ft., including bowsprit
- LOD: 271 ft.
- LWL: 233 ft.
- Beam: 44.29 ft.
- Mast Hight: 200 ft.
- Hull & Superstructure: Aluminum
- Gross Tonnage: 1500
- Engines: 2 x 2,333 hp MTU Diesels
- Max Speed: 16 knots
- Normal crew: 21

Hi Joey,
He’s got all the right stuff…including his IAC HQ. in NYC….designed by Frank Gehry. Next time you & the family are in town take the stroll along the High Line (they just opened another section) and there are great views of it from there, especially when the light is right.

Gloucester Voted #3 Small Arts City In The Country
I’d like to think that our four posts, the photo I donated and they used in the campaign and the video interview we shot asking folks to vote helped make this happen.
Kristine Fisher placed a call to Anne Robinson who contacted me while she was away on vacation and asked if I could get the publishers of the magazine a decent representative photo for the contest under the wire of the deadline for inclusion of the voting. They used the photo in the campaign and it is on the website which announced the winners here.
Here is that photo which I took from our dock at Captain Joe and Sons-
seARTS should be commended for getting the ball rolling. Â This is what happens when we work together for the benefit of our community! Â HUGE!!!!! Â So huge for The Chamber of Commerce, The Destination Marketing Organization and all of those who promote our great city to point to in their marketing campaigns!
Here is the video we shot to get people to understand how important it was to get out the vote-
And links to the posts in which Jackie,Jo-Ann Castano and Kristine Fisher and I kept putting the pressure on explaining how it helps the people who market our areas job that much easier to promote-

Here’s the article-
Cape Ann, a thriving arts and cultural destination, lies just 30 miles north of Boston along one of the prettiest stretches of coastline in all of Massachusetts. Billed as one of the last great unspoiled places, its harbors, lighthouses, beaches, coves and coastline have been attracting artists almost from its beginnings in 1623.
Cape Ann’s four communities include Rockport, Essex, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Gloucester, America’s oldest seaport. “Art is vital to the lifeblood of Gloucester. There are many beautiful places with seashores and harbors but the combination of arts, culture, and industry are rarely so integrated and integral to the life of a city. It makes Gloucester a very unique place that celebrates art in a way that most cities can’t,” says resident and AmericanStyle reader Barbara Silberman. Gloucester is home to a large population of artists, many of whom display their work in Rocky Neck Art Colony galleries and studios. You can visit the Rocky Neck Gallery or enjoy open studios and entertainment during Nights on the Neck, on the first Thursday of the month from June to October.
WHAT’S NEW?
This year an iconic red brick building on Gloucester’s Main Street, known to locals as “The Blackburn,” was transformed into The Cape Ann, also known as “The Annie.” The building was revitalized to promote the arts in the community and serves as a venue for performance and visual display. Located within The Annie is “The Art Parlour,” an expansive gallery space that allows local artists to show their work free of charge.
UP AND COMING
The annual Cape Ann Artisans’ Studio Tour takes place June 18-19 along the scenic coastline of Gloucester and Rockport, allowing visitors to meet more than 15 professional artists and see their work where it was created.
The Annual Gloucester Waterfront Festival will showcase the juried work of over 175 artists and craftsmen from throughout the U.S. in the city’s historic Fort Park on Aug. 20-21.

Dropping Moorings Photo From Bill O’Connor
Hey Joe,
These guys were steaming around the outer harbor a few weeks ago dropping moorings. They were pretty busy all afternoon, and were hitting spots between Rocky Neck and the breakwater. I’ve never seen this rig before, have you?

Hi Paul;       I have been trying to get this pic to you but had to wait till I got a new all in one printer. The person who took this got in touch with Matt and wanted to know if anyone would like copies back in 1978, never did get the persons name. That’s me on the left, Tommy in the middle, Matt on the winch and Skipper Mike in the pilot house.Â

RUST!
Â
From WIKIPEDIA;
“Oxidation of iron metal
When iron is in contact with water and oxygen, or other strong oxidants and/or acids, it rusts. If salt is present as, for example, in salt water, it tends to rust more quickly, as a result of the electro-chemical reactions. Iron metal is relatively unaffected by pure water or by dry oxygen. As with other metals, like aluminium, a tightly adhering oxide coating, a passivation layer, protects the bulk iron from further oxidation. Thus, the conversion of the passivating iron oxide layer to rust results from the combined action of two agents, usually oxygen and water. Other degrading solutions are sulfur dioxide in water and carbon dioxide in water. Under these corrosive conditions, iron hydroxide species are formed. Unlike iron oxides, the hydroxides do not adhere to the bulk metal. As they form and flake off from the surface, fresh iron is exposed, and the corrosion process continues until all of the iron is either consumed or all of the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, or sulfur dioxide in the system are removed or consumed.[2]

Gloucester Harbor- I’m thinking this is Fisherman’s Wharf but I’m not sure. Can anyone ID the boats or exact location?
Sam Frontiero writes-
That picture looks like fisherman’s wharf to me too. The boat tied up there I believe is the St. Peter 111 before they put the whaleback on her. The boats in the back ground I would say is the Santa Lucia, with the red top tipped mast, and the little one outside of it is the Seabuddy… Sam Frontiero
