Late Fall on Gloucester Harbor Submitted By: Rob Scanlan, United States Coast Guard Commercial Vessel Examiner At the old wharves and docks, there are no great landings to speak of. Old draggers and lobster boats and barges list and blister shackled to the docks, outmoded, gaudy and appear indestructible as the sea pulses under a skin of fish oil. A harbor seagull holds his pose on a tired old dock piling, riding the tide of the wind, steady and formal with all the harbor activities anchored in the round of his wide yellow eye button. A few well seasoned local fishermen, all prospects of an old antique painting, unloading a days catch on a tired old pier with strained pilings, a pier too tired of the mighty harbor’s pace. And with them the weather beaten old edifice of warehouses, derricks, lobster boats and draggers. In the harbor distance and still all around my truck the tide slips, whispers and gossips in its loose vernacular, carrying the smell of baitfish and fuel. Farther out into the harbor, waves will soon be tasting ice cakes and soon to come the cold bitter months, to cold for lovers and park-napping elders who would want to see the sun come up but instead, are met by iceribbed hulls and rigging. The lobster boats and draggers soon to be winter-bearded and blown looking like an albatross of frost, all relics of tough weather with every winch and shroud to be encased in a glassy shroud. The sun will diminish it soon and each wave tip will again glitter like a knife in the spring tide. But now I prepare my winter gear and equipment ready for another winters’ work inspecting these commercial vessels that set out and harvest the sea.
