The quality and content of that video is amazing, especially considering how long ago it was shot. I didn’t know there even were video cameras in 1944. Enjoyed that very much – the music was great too. Thank you Ed.

Great presentation..brings back many memories. I fished on board the Mary Rose with my father, Capt Joe Ciarametaro. We fished along with the Curlew. Remember those days well.

It was a privilege to be part of this project with my friends Ed Rioux, Joyce McCourt, Dave Medvitz, Bobby Fowkes and Roger and Susan Ebacher. It is a historical record of the Fishing industry in the 1940’s and so interesting. We should also give credit to Ed’s family for their inspiration and support. I was lucky for the opportunity to listen to Ed talk about the early days of Gloucester and stories about his Mom, Dad and his siblings and how they survived in the 1940’s as a fisherman’s family. Ed gave credit to both his parents for their honesty and hard work ethic.
