MS Fram visits Gloucester October 8, 2009

The MS Fram was in port yesterday.  I scooted down there to get some pics for you guys.  My ultimate goal was to get aboard by flashing my Good Morning Gloucester Press Badge and asking the Captain for a tour of the Bridge so I could videotape it for y’all but security was tighter than a a bull’s ass come fly season.  They were stopping everyone who wanted to get past the barricades at Cruiseport, even the people that worked there.

Luckily I know some folks that got me past the velvet rope and  got some shots for you.  Not to mention FOB Cynthia Hill who got us some shots aboard the boat.
