To all of you venturing here after reading the article in the Gloucester Daily Times article, our GoFundMe Button is now working.

Thanks you.
And, thank you Sean Hogan for another great article!

It’s time again to bring your scrap steel to 107 Eastern Avenue, Gloucester (behind Foster’s of Gloucester). Proceeds of the drive benefit the restoration of Gloucester’s oldest fishing vessel, the Phyllis A. Big thank you to Foster’s of Gloucester and North Shore Scrap Steel for helping to make this drive possible!!

We had an amazing Maritime Saturday yesterday, September 1st! So many people came to talk about the Michigan Bears and give us information about their families! We had Places, Arnolds, Dalhmers, Jones, and so many more from other families to tell us stories and add to the information we have already collected! Keep an eye out for an event early this coming winter where we will invite all the families to come and tell us thier stories while we have 1623 Studios help to record them. It will be fun! Thanks to everyone!!!

Yesterday we were saddened to hear of the death of Phyllis Arnold Wagner, the namesake of the fishing vessel Phyllis A. and the only daughter of Albert Arnold, the leader of the “Michigan Bears”. 97 year old Phyllis was on her way home to Gloucester and we are so sad that she did not make it. Phyllis loved the Phyllis A and we hope she would be pleased that we are working hard to get the vessel finished and back in the water. We send our sympathy and love to Phyllis’s family.
