The rotting hulk of an old fishing boat was pulled out of the water for repairs on Gloucester’s Rocky Neck, out at the end of the peninsula where the dry-docks and ship repair shops still operate. Its hull had been scraped many times, most of its joints were gaping, and the original hand-work was very visible. Much work needed to be done, but still it was a colorful subject, rusty water oozing out of it like blood from a wounded bull.
