A very loving family who now live in Cranston Rhode Island, but originally lived in Brooklyn New York. We spoke at length about the Italian history in Gloucester. She was very out spoken and said she is in a mixed marriage, she is Sicilian and he is from mainland Italy. They were headed on a whale watch at Seven Seas. A wonderful encounter from a very colorful family.

These two gentlemen were creating a 360° Image for Google Earth of Gloucester’s Fisherman’s Memorial. Photos were taken of the memorial every 4 inches. I estimated that it took them approximately 1 1/2 hours to complete the task. They are sub contractors for Google Earth, and the images they took may appear in about a month on Google Earth.
The above images were at about 5:30 PM the one below was taken an hour later on my way back from my walk.
Below are captures from the current Google Earth images of the Fisherman’s Memorial
