INTRODUCTION


where their landing is suitably commemorated with a bronze tablet which bears an inscription telling the story of their original landing.


In 1624 Roger Conant was appointed Governor and the Colony attracted much attention. Its interests were con- cerned entirely in fishing and farming. The fisheries were successfully pursued and good catches sent to Balboa, Spain, but the arable land of the Cape was exceedingly limited. This latter fact resulted in the agricultural part of the colony moving to Salem. Those remaining, however, were joined by others from time to time, among them being a colony from Plymouth in 1630. In 1632 the first church was built and services held. In 1639, the General Court was asked to incorporate the town. A charter was granted in 1642, the town taking the name of Gloucester from the cathedral city in England, whence many of the early settlers came.


The history of Gloucester is entwined with events of national importance. It tells us the story of the expedition against Louisburg, the Gibraltar of America,-how these men, in a craft commanded by Captain Sanders and in a land company under Captain Byles, gave splendid service in reducing that stronghold; they were with Wolfe at Que- bec and were in the foreground when the flag of France was lowered for the last time on the American Continent. In the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, in the Spanish American War and in the World War, the call to arms has ever been answered by the population of this fishing city. Their services have been rendered on land and sea and they have left behind a record of which any community may well be proud.


Fisheries


Destiny ordained that Gloucester should be the first and greatest fishing port in the New World. Back as far as 1602, that daring navigator, GOSNOLD, found that cod- fish were plenty in Massachusetts Bay and for twenty years before a permanent settlement was made here, the fisheries were pursued off this coast with profit. Destiny also took a hand when the Dorchester Company set out from England in 1623 to engage in a fishing trip and also to found a perm- anent colony. The ancient records tell us that the expedi- tion had no definite place in view for settlement and that arriving late in the season at the fishing grounds on the Maine coast, finding the fishing poor and in hopes of mak- ing up a full fare, the voyage was continued to Massachu- setts Bay. Our first colonists, therefore, were fishermen and the first business of the place was fishing.


With the exception, possibly, of a very few years im- mediately following 1626, the fisheries have been followed from this port throughout all these 300 years, practically without interruption. Its history is a fitting story of a hardy race of fisher folk, who have ever braved the call of the deep in the pursuit of their industry which today ranks as the oldest in Massachusetts. It teems with stories of self-sacrifice and valor. It has been a costly industry, how- ever. Braving the storms and perils of the ocean in seek- ing their existence, scouring the seas almost to the Arctic Circle in their perilous quest, at the mercy of the storms


.

INTRODUCTION


and the heavy fogs, the treacherous shoals and drifting boats, over 8,000 of these men have been sacrificed in this perilous calling.


The name of Gloucester has been associated with the curing, catching, packing and distribution of fish since its early settlement in 1623. This industry may truly be said to be the corner stone upon which the city's prosperity and reputation has been based, although at the same time other pursuits have gained ground and prospered.


Gloucester presently has 25 firms engaged in handling and processing fish. Of this number, five are engaged in fish cooking processes, principally fish sticks. The total number employed in shore processing and fish cooking plants varies from 1,100 to 2,600 during the peak produc- tion season.


Production of cooked fish items in 1960 amounted to 27,262,000 pounds, of which 21,900,000 pounds were fish sticks. The base product from which fish sticks and other cooked fish items are made are from frozen blocks of fillets, principally cod, imported from Canada, Nova Scotia, New- foundland, Greenland, Iceland, and more recently from Norway and Denmark. These imports come in principally by cargo steamer, although large amounts are trucked from other ports of entry. Gloucester in recent years has de- veloped into a distributing port of fish blocks to fish stick processors all over the country-as far as the Pacific Coast. Of the total landings of fish blocks in 1960, 24,100,000 pounds were re-shipped via refrigerated trucks to operating plants in other sections of the country.


Gloucester has upwards to 150 vessels of 5 to over 100 tons gross engaged in off-shore fishing, and more than 100 under five tons engaged in inshore fishing and lobster fish- ing. Crews of Gloucester fishing vessels total upwards to 2,000.


Gloucester has a State Fish Pier which started oper- ating early in 1939, located at the foot of Parker Street and over-lapping what formerly was Five Pound Island. It has a modern cold storage plant with capacity of 7,500,000 pounds. This pier is equipped to engage in an extensive fresh fish business. Individual stalls are rented to operat- ing firms. 9 facilities now provide Gloucester with a total of 52,650,000 pounds of cold storage space, and a total daily freezing capacity (24 hours) of approximately 1,750,000 pounds. Landings of fresh fish at Gloucester increased from 75,661,000 pounds in 1939 with a value to fishermen of $1,202,000 to a total of 192,406,000 pounds in 1960 with a value to fishermen of $6,330,000. Gloucester is one of the largest fish producing ports in the country. Gloucester also has two plants engaged in fish by-product manufacture. These plants use waste resulting from fish processing and non-edible fish (principally menhaden) for extraction of fish oils and the conversion to fish solubles and fish meal used in the processing of poultry and animal feeds.


Manufacturing and Local Industries


Gloucester has many other industries aside from the fisheries but one directly connected with these, is the man- ufacture of liquid fish glue. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew that a strong adhesive could be extracted from the


16


INTRODUCTION


skins of certain fish, and used this adhesive for such deli- cate purposes as fastening precious stones in their setting. Fish glue, however, was made in very small quantities and had to be used immediately. It was not until the last cen- tury, sometime between 1870 and 1875, that liquid glue was made a commercial possibility by the discovery of means whereby it might be permanently preserved in liquid form.


Formerly, quarrying of granite was a very important industry. In recent years, quarries at Rockport have been closed, and the industry there is concerned principally at the present time in the cutting of granite pavement blocks.

While Gloucester is situated far from the sources of sup- ply of some raw materials, it has several advantages over in- land cities. For instance, the city is on the sea coast where it can obtain various supplies direct by water, at a cheaper rate than by rail. It is located on the Boston & Maine Rail- road, with a schedule of sixteen trains daily to and from Boston. Route 128, opened to traffic in 1953 with a high- level bridge over the Annisquam River. Route 128 is a mod- ern double-barreled highway into Gloucester with a cir- cumferential connection to the State Fish Pier and to Route 127 into Rockport. Route 128 connects with all major high- ways to New York and to points west. Routes 133 (formerly 121) and 127 also are primary highway routes into Glouces- ter.


Summer Colonies


The whole of Cape Ann is an ideal resort for the sum- mer tourist. Its admirable location, surrounded practically on every side by the open sea, its magnificent summer cli- mate, never extreme on the hottest days in summer; its natural rugged beauty; its many beaches, both large and small; its pretty inland roads through hard wood groves; its splendid summer cottages and hotels; all combine to make Cape Ann a splendid summer home for those who wish to escape the monotony of city life. Gloucester has long since taken its place as the ideal summer resort. To point out any particular charm it may hold for the summer visitor is difficult, for the attractions are many and of suf- ficient varieties to satisfy the most exacting critic.


It combines within a radius of one-half dozen miles practically every type of natural scenery found anywhere. Its picturesque harbor wharves, inspiring in thought the 300 years of struggle with the sea that its fishermen have en- dured in the pursuit of its industry; its many boats entering


17


INTRODUCTION


and leaving the harbor in plying their trade; its foreign fishing colonies,-those of the Italian and Portuguese; its beaches and parks; combine to make Gloucester ideal to the tourist.


Churches


Church influence is strong in Gloucester, many social and welfare activities centering in the church organizations, of which there are twenty-one in the city. The first church was organized in 1632.


There are over ninety clubs and fraternal organiza- tions in the city, including the Woman's Club, Rotary Club, The Kiwanis Club and the Gloucester Chamber of Com- merce.


Good government, good roads, good schools, congenial social conditions, a high standard of citizenship, conven- ience to shipping points, nearness to a market, excellent transportation facilities, abundant recreational and amuse- ment facilities, the advantages of homes in the open spaces combined with urban conveniences-these are the qualities that go to make a city desirable-and Gloucester has them all.


ROCKPORT


Rockport, or Sandy Bay, as the town was formerly called, was a part of Gloucester until 1840 when it was in- corporated and set up its own town government. Like Gloucester, its inhabitants early engaged in the fishing industry, but not possessing the facilities for large vessels, the pursuit of this industry has been largely confined to the shore fisheries, the trapping of lobsters forming the major portion of the business as carried on today.


Rockport granite is known the country over and the quarries at Rockport, Pigeon Cove and Bay View have produced many thousands of tons of this valuable stone and have furnished employment to several hundred workmen. The industry dates from about 1823, when the quarries were first worked, and has furnished granite for government fortifications and navy yards, Boston Custom House Tower, Woolworth Building in New York, and Brooklyn Bridge.


The summer colony has grown considerably in the last twenty years. A cleaner and more wholesome town in which to spend the summer cannot be found in New England. There are a number of good beaches, a beautiful shore drive, and the ocean scenery is unsurpassed. Many artists make their homes here during the summer months and find in- teresting subjects to transfer to their canvasses along the quaint old wharves and rugged shore.


The breakwater erected by the government has given Rockport a safe harbor, available for large vessels of all types, and the town is often visited during the summer by some of the fleets of United States Warships.


Gloucester Chamber of Commerce


The Gloucester Chamber of Commerce is organized for the service of the public and for the promotion of the bus- iness and industrial growth of the community. Further in- formation regarding manufacturing opportunities, business facilities and residential advantages, will be gladly supplied upon request by the Gloucester Chamber of Commerce, 120 Main Street.

The practice of lending your City Directory, in a great measure, Is responsible for the increasing cost of Directory Service.


The reason is :-


There is a definite cost involved in the making of the DIRECTORY of Your City.


THIS COST MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE SUBSCRIBERS-BE THEY ONE-OR BE THEY 1000.


If there were but ONE SUBSCRIBER to the CITY DIRECTORY-THE ONE SUBSCRIBER would of necessity have to absorb THE WHOLE COST.


If there were 100 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/100th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
