@rightthoughtsonly: Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial Photo courtesy of Annie Harris, Essex National Heritage AreaResting on a granite base in the center of Gloucester's long, narrow Stacy Esplanade is the Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial. It is an eight-foot tall, bronze statue of a fisherman dressed in oilskins standing braced at the wheel on the sloping deck of his ship. It is positioned so that the fisherman is looking out over Gloucester Harbor. The English sculptor Leonard F. Craske (1882-1950) designed the sculpture, and it was cast by the Gorham Company of Providence, Rhode Island, in 1925. A small plaque on the north or street-facing side of the base reads, "MEMORIAL TO THE GLOUCESTER FISHERMAN, August 23, 1923." A larger recessed panel on the front or harbor-facing side of the base holds an inscription of bronze letters taken from the 107th Psalm, which reads: THEY THAT GO DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS 1623 - 1923 #boat #boating #landmark #fisherman #fishermen #Gloucester #massachusetts #commercialfishing #fishing #fishtok #harbor #seaport #sea #interesting #travel #explore #discover #fyp #statue #ship #Memorial #seafood
