Send us a textAn unsolved double homicide from idyllic Rockport, Massachusetts in 1932 rocked eastern Massachusetts. Boston Confidential interviews Robert Fitzgibbon, author of Murder In Rockport, Terror in a small town. The depression struck hard on Cape Ann, the quarry business dissipated and double digit unemployment was the norm. On May 21, 1932 town tailor Arthur Oker was found murdered in his shop, the following Halloween a fellow congregant Augusta Johnson had threatened in church that she knew who was responsible, and if they didn't turn themselves in she would go to the police. She was found murdered the next morning. Who was the culprit? There are several suspects, but the mystery has never been solved.

Earlier this month, a little harbor seal named Cuyahoga was rescued off the shores of Cape Ann. This small seal was in awful shape and is getting some much needed TLC at the National Marine Life Center in Buzzards Bay. Cuyahoga is one of many animals that find themselves stranded each year along the shores of New England. What do you do if you find a turtle or seal that's struggling? NMLC Executive Director Connie Merigo talks with Nichole about Cuyahoga's recovery and how you can help other animals in a similar bind.

The historic twin light station on Thacher Island, off the east side of Cape Ann in Massachusetts. is one of the small number of lighthouse sites in the U.S. that are designated National Historic Landmarks. In 1771, there were nine lighthouses in operation in North America. The original twin lighthouses built on Thacher Island in 1771 were the first built to mark a dangerous spot rather than a harbor entrance, and they were also the last lighthouses built under British rule in the colonies. The two granite towers that stand today, 124 feet tall, were built in 1861 and fitted with first-order Fresnel lenses. The north light was deactivated in 1932. The twin lights of Thacher Island, Massachusetts In the 1980s, concerned citizens of Cape Ann formed the Thacher Island Association and chose a caretaker to live on the island. The Town of Rockport's Thacher Island Committee in partnership with the nonprofit Thacher Island Association maintains and operates the island, including both lighthouse towers. This episode includes historic audio recorded in the 1980s, as well as audio from a recent visit to the island with co-host Sarah MacHugh. Sarah spoke with Syd Wedmore, chairman of the Thacher Island Town Committee. Co-host Sarah MacHugh (right) on the way out to Thacher Island.

It took time for the now legendary 20th-century artist to find his visual voice. A new exhibition at the Cape Ann Museum transports visitors back to a pivotal summer 100 years ago when Hopper met the woman who would become his model, muse, manager and wife: Josephine Nivison.

Jordan Rich filled in on NightSide:Gloucester is celebrating 400+ years of history and 70+ years of the Cape Ann Symphony! As a music lover, Jordan invited the music director and conductor of the Cape Ann Symphony Orchestra, Yoichi Udagawa, to chat about this special event.

Synopsis: Gregory Verdine, Ph.D., is the Co-Founder, President and CEO of LifeMine Therapeutics and FogPharma. LifeMine Therapeutics is reinventing drug discovery by mining genetically-encoded small molecules (GEMs) from the biosphere. FogPharma is developing a new class of drugs to address the limitations of today's precision medicines and achieve universal druggability. In this episode, Greg discusses his unique journey from starting as an academic scientist to transitioning to an investor, and how that exposure to the venture world rounds out his approach to how he now runs biotechs. He talks about what it's been like running two companies for six years and how he structures his time so he can successfully operate between the two. He also discusses fundraising in a challenging environment and the importance of being part of a team in biotech. Biography: Greg Verdine is a leader in the discovery, development and commercialization of new drug modalities. A passionate and accomplished inventor of novel approaches and drug classes to engage targets widely believed intractable, Greg coined the phrase “drugging the undruggable” to describe his life's mission. Greg is the co-founder of FogPharma, which has its roots in the scientific work of Greg and his academic team at Harvard University and Harvard Medical School, a hotbed of innovation and invention in the new modality therapeutics space. Greg is also the co-founder and CEO of LifeMine Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company refashioning drug discovery by mining genetically-encoded small molecules from the biosphere. Together with co-founder WeiQing Zhou, he developed the scientific and business concept for FogPharma and LifeMine and co-led the companys' initial capitalization and operationalization in mid-2016 and 2017, respectively. Greg is highly regarded for having moved seamlessly between roles as an academic scientist, biotech entrepreneur, investor and company executive. As Erving Professor at Harvard University and Harvard Medical School, he founded the burgeoning field of hyperstabilized alpha-helical peptides, starting with the first-generation all-hydrocarbon stapled peptide technology, and invented not only the modality but also the direct precursor to the Phase 2 stapled peptide ALRN 6924. The greatly improved second-generation Helicon technology was developed in the Verdine Lab at Harvard and licensed exclusively to FogPharma, and subsequently developed by FogPharma into the third-generation approach that is so impactful today. The Verdine Lab at Harvard also made seminal contributions to understanding fundamental mechanisms of DNA repair and epigenetic DNA methylation. As an entrepreneur, Dr. Verdine has founded multiple public biotech companies including Variagenics, Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Eleven Bio, Tokai Pharmaceuticals, Wave Life Sciences and Aileron Therapeutics, and a private company, Gloucester Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired by Celgene. These companies have succeeded in achieving FDA approval for three marketed drugs. Greg has served on the board of directors of Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Wave Life Sciences, Warp Drive Bio and LifeMine Therapeutics. Having led the formation and financing of Wave Life Sciences, Warp Drive Bio and LifeMine Therapeutics, Greg took a role in managing these companies as their president, chief executive officer and chief scientific officer. Greg also conceived of, co-founded and served as the founding president and chairman of the tandem non-profits Gloucester Biotechnology Academy, which trains high school graduates for technical careers in biotech, and Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute, which is supporting fisheries science and economic development on Cape Ann. Greg earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from Columbia University and served as an NIH postdoctoral fellow in molecular biology at MIT and Harvard Medical School. He also holds an honorary Ph.D. degree from Clarkson University.

A conversation with author and curator Elliot Bostwick Davis about her new book “Edward Hopper & Cape Ann: Illuminating an American Landscape” and the accompanying exhibit which runs July 22 to October 16 at the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Both the book and the exhibit examine the impact of Hopper's wife Jo on his work and the trajectory of his career. Their relationship started in the summer of 1923 there in Cape Ann and it wasn't long before the 41-year-old Hopper became a rising star in the art world.https://a.co/d/9stfbjChttps://www.capeannmuseum.org/exhibitions/edward-hopper/

John Adams later described the prosecution of William Corbet as a case “of an extraordinary Character, in which I was engaged and which cost me no small Portion of Anxiety.” In 1769, four common sailors were brought into Boston to stand trial for murder. The victim was an officer in the royal navy, and the crime had taken place just off Cape Ann, almost within sight of home. As Boston suffered under military occupation, could a military victim receive justice in a radicalized Boston? And what really happened on that ship near Marblehead? Had the dead officer really just been searching for cargo that the captain hadn't declared and paid customs on? Or were they up to something darker, like illegally kidnapping Massachusetts sailors and forcing them to serve in the Royal Navy?

What exactly is "Massachusetts" anyway? Where is the real, original Massachusetts? In this episode we explore the name and initial location it refers to. This is a good starting point for exploring the deep history of Lost Massachusetts. The word Massachusett (sometimes Massachuset - with one T) loosely translates as: "at the range of hills" in the Algonquin dialect spoken by the native people of Massachusetts. The hills referenced in the term are the Blue Hills and in particular the Great Blue Hill in Milton. The people referred to as Massachusett ("Massachuseuk") controlled an area much smaller than the current size of the state. Its frontier was roughly from Cape Ann in the North, Natick in the West and Weymouth in the South. What became the colonist state of the Massachusetts Bay Colony also did not include Plymouth plantation, the Cape and Islands (The "Old Colony") or generally lands further to the West or North until later. The Blue Hills Reservation is in Milton, Randolph, Quincy, Canton and Dedham. This is four-season recreational area with hiking, skiing, swimming, mountain biking. There are bathrooms, picnic areas, boat launches, a nature center and museum run by Mass Audubon. The relationship between this location and the name of our state is not made plain or explained clearly. This was also likely the location of an important native settlement and possibly a place of religious significance - subjects that need to be explored in more depth.

[Help us reach our $25,000 end of year goal! Give online to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture today.]We often think that telling the truth only applies to words. But American painter Winslow Homer (February 24, 1836 – September 29, 1910) told the truth in pencil, water color, and famously, oil paintings. Coming of age in antebellum America, starting his artistic career as the Civil War began, and dramatically painting truth to power during the complicated and failed Reconstruction era—Winslow Homer looked long and hard at America in its moral complications and struggle toward justice. But he also looked long and hard at the natural world—a harsh, sometimes brutal, but nonetheless ordered world. Sometimes red in tooth and claw, sometimes shining rays of grace and glory upon human bodies, Homer's depiction of the human encounter with the world as full of energy and full of spirited struggle, and therefore dignity.William Cross is author and biographer of Winslow Homer: American Passage—a biography of an artist who painted America in conflict and crisis, with a moral urgency and an unflinching depiction of the human spirit's struggle for survival and search for grace.  As a consultant to art and history museums, a curator, and an art critic and scholar, when Bill sees the world, he's looking long for beauty and grace, and often finding it in art. In this conversation, Bill Cross and I discuss the morally urgent art and perspective of Winslow Homer. We talk about the historical context of American life before, during, and after the Civil War. Including the role of Christianity and religious justification of the Confederacy and the institution of slavery. Bill comments on the beautiful and bracing expression of Black life in Winslow Homer's work—truly radical for the time. But Homer's work goes beyond human social and political struggles. We also discuss the role of nature in his work—particularly the human struggle against the power and indifference of the ocean and the wild, untamed animal kingdom.Throughout, you might consider referencing each of the paintings we discuss, all of which are available in the show notes and can be found online for further viewing and reflection.Show NotesGive toward the Yale Center for Faith & Culture $25,000 matching campaign.

Cross is an independent scholar and a consultant to art and history museums. He served as the curator of Homer at the Beach: A Marine Painter's Journey, 1869–1880, a nationally renowned 2019 exhibition at the Cape Ann Museum on the formation of Winslow Homer as a marine painter. He is the chairman of the advisory board of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. Cross and his wife, Ellen, the parents of two grown sons, live on Cape Ann, north of Boston, Massachusetts.About Winslow Homer: American PassageThe definitive life of the painter who forged American identity visually, in art and illustration, with an impact comparable to that of Walt Whitman and Mark Twain in poetry and prose—yet whose own story has remained largely untold.In 1860, at the age of twenty-four, Winslow Homer (1836–1910) sold Harper's Weekly two dozen wood engravings, carved into boxwood blocks and transferred to metal plates to stamp on paper. One was a scene that Homer saw on a visit to Boston, his hometown. His illustration shows a crowd of abolitionists on the brink of eviction from a church; at their front is Frederick Douglass, declaring “the freedom of all mankind.”Homer, born into the Panic of 1837 and raised in the years before the Civil War, came of age in a nation in crisis. He created multivalent visual tales, both quintessentially American and quietly replete with narrative for and about people of all races and ages. Whether using pencil, watercolor, or, most famously, oil, Homer addressed the hopes and fears of his fellow Americans and invited his viewers into stories embedded with universal, timeless questions of purpose and meaning.Like his contemporaries Twain and Whitman, Homer captured the landscape of a rapidly changing country with an artist's probing insight. His tale is one of America in all its complexity and contradiction, as he evolved and adapted to the restless spirit of invention transforming his world. In Winslow Homer: American Passage, William R. Cross reveals the man behind the art. It is the surprising story of a life led on the front lines of history. In that life, this Everyman made archetypal images of American culture, endowed with a force of moral urgency through which they speak to all people today.Production NotesThis podcast featured William R.

Today on the Listing Agent Lifestyle podcast, I want to share a great episode I recorded with Kenny MacCarthy from Cape Ann, just above Boston. Kenny is the perfect guest after speaking with Zac last week because just as Zac was talking about the Getting Listings program and becoming a market maker for in-town condos, Kenny has been doing around Cape Ann with oceanfront homes. So, we started by talking about the Getting Listings results that Kenny's been getting, but then we really went deeper into expanding outside of just doing the Getting Listings program on his own to starting to think like a market maker for his team. There are a lot of great ideas here to expand your thinking. Links: Show Notes GoGoAgent.com Be a Guest Listing Agent Lifestyle Book Listing Agent Scorecard

From the ancient pages of the Old Norse Edda to the interwar pages of American adventure magazines, the depths of our oceans have, in imagination, been host to unspeakable monsters for many hundreds of years. In modern times, the phrase “Here Be Dragons” has been absorbed into popular culture as titles for books, films, TV shows, bands and video games, all this despite the fact that it only ever appeared on the unknown seas of a single 16th Century Globe. Far more common were the giant sea monsters that adorned maps for hundreds of years, existing only as illustrations and in the minds of those that viewed them. In the summer of 1817, just off the coast of Massachusetts, however, these illustrations became flesh and blood for several weeks when witnesses of a Giant Sea Serpent numbered into the hundreds, in what the 19th Century Harvard Professor Jacob Bigelow called “the most interesting problem in the science of natural history.”   SOURCES   France, Robert L.

This Week: The Gloucester Sea Serpent! What's the coolest thing you can possibly see in New England? Sure there are a lot of buildings, cities, and people bustling about on the east coast, but if you ask your local cryptid nerd, you might want to take a right at Cape Ann and stare straight at the water. If you sit there and wait for several hours, or try to go fishing, or hang out with a very specific pair of Gloucester ladies, you might see a funky little sea monster in them there waters. Today's topics: Just two gals being socially-ostracized pals; the Rumor Weed; this boy could outrun a boat; the Magical Worm on a String; the biologists are here; you can use kegs as a unit of measurement; I hope it has bones; foot physiology; summer fun in Provincetown; narwhals; cryptid kitties and the coconut rabbit; cryptocurrency callout; literature reviews; scoliosis; a turtle could kill you if it wanted to.

The Cricket Editor Erika Brown talks with Lifestyle Editor Kris McGinn about the story of a beloved kayaking business, Essex River Basin Adventures (ERBA), in the small Cape Ann town of Essex closing its doors after 25 years.  ERBA put thousands of people on the water every summer to experience the wonder of The Great Marsh, Essex Bay, Choate Island, and Cranes Beach. Local guides would share wonderful stories about the history of Essex shipbuilding, native birds and plants, and current tips about the town of Essex from Woodman's fried clams to the numerous antique shops. ERBA will indeed be sorely missed.

Hello, welcome to the listing agent Lifestyle podcast. My name's Dean Jackson and today we've got a great podcast for you. I've got Kenny MacCarthy with us from Cape Ann, just above Boston, and I thought Kenny was the perfect next guest after our episode with Zach Pasmanick last week. If you remember Zach last week was talking about how he's been doing the Getting Listings program for in town condos and how can we find all of the buyers for this market and become a market maker. Well, this is something that Kenny MacCarthy's been doing around Cape Ann with ocean front homes. We've got a great conversation today. We started by talking about all of the Getting Listings results that Kenny's been getting. And moving into expanding outside of just doing the Getting Listings program on his own behalf and starting to think like a market maker. So I think you're going to enjoy this episode. Lots of great stuff to expand your mind.     Links: Show Notes GoGoAgent.com Be a Guest
