A View from the Road

Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial

“They that go down to the sea in ships.”

1623-1923

By chance, we stopped in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where we happened to spot this very familiar View from the Road:  The Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial.

The memorial includes bronze plaques that list the names and dates of people who perished at sea; from this area.

 

 

I will confess that before our visit, I had not realized it was a memorial, rather, I knew the image or a close facsimile of it,  from Gorton’s frozen fish sticks boxes; which happens to be in the same town.

 

 

“Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the mighty waters; they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep.

For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.”
~ Psalms 23-24 ~
