Description
At one time, I was purchasing frozen seafood from the Gorton Company. Their logo was the Gloucester Fisherman, appearing on all their packaging. I was recently invited to lunch at a restaurant in San Pedro's Ports O Call Village. The restaurant is also called Ports O Call. To my surprise, outside the entrance, was the giant sculpture was my food icon..
The sculpture is positioned so that the fisherman is looking out over Gloucester Harbor. The fisherman in the sculpture was modeled after Capt. Clayton Morrissey, a prominent Gloucester fisherman, once the captain of the Effie M. Morrissey. The stone was purposely sculpted with a rough finish to make the fisherman look rugged. Craske posed the fisherman to look as if he was facing a windstorm and was headed toward dangerous rocks. His eyes are fixed on the water and sails, while every muscle is strained to hold the wheel with a firm grip.. .
