Since the early 1860's the Tarr & Wonson Paint Factory has guarded the entrance of Gloucester's inner harbor at Rock Neck. Even earlier in 1859 the Rocky Neck Marine Railways has been repairing vessels ever since. Today the Paint Factory is going through a long rehab to become the world headquarters of Ocean Alliance. I stopped at both locations to see how different the Gloucester skyline has become with the addition of three "Glosta Monstas", Varian, Gloucester Engineering and The City of Gloucester wind turbines.

While at the Paint Factory I spot this dory with a sailing rig off Ten Pound Island. This would have been a common sight in the 1800's!
From the Route 128 extension!
