1918 Water Front Pass for Gorton-Pew Fisheries

Below is an 1918 Water Front pass for Gorton-Pew Fisheries.

Manuel Barber  (Azorean Barbaro)   is the maternal great grandfather of Donald Lacerda a long time resident of Gloucester.

Barber was a Gloucester Fisherman, but after his wife died young, he worked for Gorton’s so he could care for his three children.

The Fighter below is of Don’s grandfather Joe Lacerda “Spats”, who was a long time barber in Gloucester.
