Gloucester Massachusetts 4K
In 1642 the Massachusetts Bay Colony set aside the rocky land beyond the Annisquam, and named it Gloucester. The new settlers homesteaded and fished, but the area was also thickly wooded, so initially timber, not fish, was Gloucester’s primary export. It was so important that in 1667 settlement in the area that was to become Rockport over a century later was forbidden, in order to protect the forest.
About 40 of these early settlers built houses in the heart of Cape Ann in an area called Dogtown, a place of myth and mystery even today. In the 1700s it was occupied by some of our wealthiest citizens, and provided a safe refuge from both the occasional pirate and marauding French and British ships. By 1830 its last inhabitant had been taken away to the Poor Farm and nothing now remains of this once thriving community but the cellar holes. During the Great Depression local philanthropist Roger W. Babson hired out-of-work stone cutters to carve inspirational sayings into 23 of the large boulders dotting the area. At the same time he donated 1,150 acres of Dogtown to the City of Gloucester for use as a park and watershed, which currently offers rich recreational opportunities to hikers, bikers, dog-walkers, cross-country skiers, horseback riders and nature lovers.
Gloucester also had a good safe harbor with easy access to the rich off shore fishing grounds, so over time, as the trees became less plentiful, the major industry gradually changed to fishing and foreign trade. In 1713 the schooner, which became the country’s foremost fishing vessel for more than 200 years, was first designed and built in Gloucester. By the early 1800s shipbuilding was increasing and the fishing fleet was traveling to the Grand Banks after halibut. In 1879 alone there were almost 450 fishing vessels in town employing over 5,000 men catching more than 91million pounds of cod, haddock, halibut, hake, pollock, mackerel and herring. Sometimes you could not see the water in the harbor for the vessels moored there. But all this came with a price. That same year was devastating for the Gloucester fleet. Thirty-two vessels and 266 men were lost, half of them in a single February storm. In 1883 the young fisherman Howard Blackburn, adrift in his dory in a raging snow storm, rowed towards land for five days, his hands frozen to the oars. He survived the ordeal but lost all his fingers. Despite this handicap he later sailed single-handed across the Atlantic in his sloop Great Western (which can be visited at the Cape Ann Museum). The names of 5,368 lost fishermen are inscribed on 9 bronze plaques where the famous Fisherman at the Wheel statue stands looking out to sea. Gloucester fishermen continue to brave the seas today, making the city the oldest fishing community in the nation.
Gloucester has a thriving cultural heritage too. Books have been written and movies made of and in Gloucester (among them Kipling’s Captain’s Courageous and Junger’s The Perfect Storm), and the city is featured in the popular TV series Wicked Tuna. Rocky Neck, home to one of the oldest working Art Colonies in America, protects the inner harbor. There, artists like Theresa Bernstein, John Sloan, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper, Frederick J. Mulhaupt and many others found both a home and inspiration.
Why do tourists come to Gloucester?
Why is it that tourists come to Gloucester? Those of us who know and love Gloucester know that it is the uniqueness of the US' oldest working fishing port, the history of the birthplace of seperation of church and state where in 1780 freed slaves were founding memebers of the Unitarian Church, the country's oldest working art colony, they natural beauty of our beaches and wooded areas, the literary history of Olsen, the adventures and hardships depicted in books and movies.... It's an incredible place... and despite what some developers might think we are not Miami and a Huge Beach resort separating the ocean from the historic district and cutting off the view of Ten Pound Island fits as well with this amazing city as the soundtrack of this video fits with most of the images here shown.

Two Kayakers Use Rackliffe Street Private Ramp
Elizabeth Lewis, Jake Maslow and Karen Maslow filed suit against the abutters who own the private uplands, private ramp and private tidelands beyond the end of Rackliffe Street [a private way in Gloucester, Massachusetts procimate to the Art Colony of Rocky Neck]. They, as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, claim that the ramp, tidelands and uplands are for public use even thought the it is clearly deeded to the abutting property owner. The deeds are publicly available at the Salem Registry of Deeds website. Just run a search for deeds on Rackliffe Street in Gloucester and you'll find them.
Their claims also make wild accusations about the owners at the end of Rackliffe Street conspiring to take a piece of public property, the most ridiculous one being that access has been blocked off and people can no longer walk through there.
The owners at the end of the street have always been pleased to allow permissive use of their property.
They have stated this bold and glaring lie under oath in spoken word and in written affidavits. Everything you see in this video - the bench, the truck, the driftwood log, the potted plant - have been there for years in the same spots. They are removed seasonally due to Winter storms frequently washing away the grass, and the fact that Rackliffe Street is a dead end resulting in a massive snowbank there in the Winter months.
Let's see how obstructed these barefooot kayakers do with maneuvering two kayaks up the ramp at the same time...
