Essex Shipbuilding
For three centuries, shipbuilding flourished in Essex, a small village wrapped around a shallow tidal estuary that flows into Ipswich Bay.

The Stream I Go A-fishing in
"The Stream I Go A-Fishing In" tells the story of John Jay Watson, a Gloucester, Massachusetts fisherman of the 19th century who became a noted violinist, New York concert impresario, and composer of piano and violin melodies that were favorities with parlor musicians. The book introduces Watson as a fiddling fisherman in the surprisingly musical world of the schooner fleet.

It follows him into the hurly-burly New York entertainment scene in the decades when America was shaping its tastes for popular and classical music. Watson found success in the age of P. T. Barnum, but kept his values straight as a man who had been a fisherman of the Banks, and remained proud of the decency and loyalty of that breed.
