Artist's Description
Resting 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:

About Catherine Gagne
There is no better way to release stress than to travel around with a camera. Seeing all the beauty that my native New England has to offer is the best medicine in the world. Walking down a trail and hearing a waterfall before you see it is music to my ears, walking in a garden is nature's art for my eyes, hearing the waves bounce off rocks by lighthouses soothes the soul, walking across a covered bridge over one hundred years old brings joy to my heart. I hope everyone takes the time to see and enjoy the beauty this world freely gives us all. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my pictures.
