A Gloucester of another century, when fishing was king, returns in pictures
Blatchford (1868-1947) was a Gloucester native. After a few years living in Boston and Kittery, Maine, he returned home and never left. He spent four decades working as a bookkeeper for the New England Fish Company. His workspace overlooked the inner harbor. Think of his office window as a much larger version of a viewfinder. Blatchford started photographing in the 1890s, and the 27 photographs in 'Down to the Sea'(drawn from more than 250 in CAM's collection) date from that decade and up through 1913. This was a time when some 350 fishing vessels were working out of Gloucester. Ernest L. Blatchford, "Launch of the schooner Helen Miller Gould at John Bishop's Shipyard, Vincent Cove, Gloucester," 1900. Cape Ann Museum Advertisement Blatchford was an amateur photographer. Amateur can mean more than just not a professional. It tends to get forgotten that the word derives from the Latin 'amator,' 'lover,' and Blatchford's feeling for his subject matter can be felt in every image. Even more important than the obvious knowledge and experience he brought to bear was a sense of emotional connection. Ernest L. Blatchford, "Tugboat Startle in Gloucester's Inner Harbor," circa 1900. Cape Ann Museum Gifted amateur would be a more precise description of Blatchford. Although he was less concerned with form than content, his work has a lot going for it formally. Blatchford was a member of the Cape Ann Camera Club. One of the club's goals was 'to show the rest of New England that we can keep abreast of the times.' This Blatchford did. The graceful plume of steam from a tugboat in Gloucester Harbor evokes Pictorialism, the most artistically ambitious photographic movement of the era. Advertisement Elsewhere one notes the elegant spindliness of the bare masts of an iced-in schooner; the foamy wave raised by the launch of a schooner; the way Blatchford nearly fills the frame with the pile of salt that two sailors are shoveling in the hold of a ship. The removal of any larger context adds to the in-drawing unreality of the scene. Ernest L. Blatchford, "Shoveling salt in the hold of a salt bank in Gloucester Harbor," circa 1900. Cape Ann Museum Salting fish was crucially important in preservation. It was the reality of the fishing industry as well as its romance that drew Blatchford. The variety, too. He photographed not just fishing schooners, but also barks, sloops, shipwrecks, lighthouses, ferries, tugboats, and a US Customs launch. It was later used during Prohibition to chase rumrunners. That kind of detail is representative of how informative and thorough the wall texts are. 'Down to the Sea' honors Blatchford's documentary impulse with an ample selection of items relating to the industry. Three dozen objects related to fishing are in display cases. They lend a three-dimensional immediacy to the world we see in two dimensions in Blatchford's photographs. The items are marvelous as objects — many could be works of vernacular sculpture — and bear names no less marvelous. There are thole pins (to support oars), baggywrinkles (woven coverings for cables), wooden fids (a tool of conical shape used on rope and canvas), a heaver (a lever), a marlinspike (for rope work), a monkey's fist (a kind of knot used to secure the end of a rope). Advertisement Less esoteric are net-mending needles, glass floats, a wheelbarrow, a block with swivel hook and tackle, and both a fog horn and a speaking horn. Two insurance maps of the harbor area in 1917 give a rich sense of how much was going on there commercially. Of special note are a full-size in-shore dory, circa 1900, and two models. One is of a fishing schooner, the John Hay Hammond. The other, and it's truly a thing of enchantment, is of a steam ferry from the early teens, the Little Giant. Ernest L. Blatchford, "Waterboat Aqua Pura in Gloucester Harbor," circa 1900. Cape Ann Museum So much of the fascination of 'Down to the Sea' is the window it offers on a now-distant world. There's one photograph, though, that feels depressingly prophetic. It shows the Aqua Pura, a water boat that serviced the fishing fleet. Ads cover its sail. Baggywrinkles and wooden fids are all well and good, but even 125 years ago you couldn't get away from branding and marketing. DOWN TO THE SEA: The Photographs of Ernest L.

Project to explore self-driving bus service in Glasgow
The feasibility study is being conducted by The Glasgow Automated Mobility Mass-transit Accelerator (GAMMA), a consortium led by organisations including DG Cities, ZF Group and Admiral Group Plc. The project will test the feasibility of autonomous bus operations on a variety of carefully selected rural, peri-urban and urban routes. The routes are designed to connect major points of interest, including employment hubs, healthcare services, recreation venues and key transport interchanges, such as Glasgow's two main rail termini and Buchanan Bus Station.

The team will gather and analyse key data sets, develop a robust safety case and engage a wide range of stakeholders, from local transport providers and businesses to academic and third-sector partners. The project's aim is to 'design a commercially viable autonomous bus service that meets the real needs of the people of Glasgow'. GAMMA project to explore self-driving bus service in Glasgow (Image: NQ/Colin Mearns) Ash Dowler, Senior Innovation & Net Zero Consultant, DG Cities, said: 'This project is an exciting step towards understanding how autonomous buses can truly serve Glasgow's people and places. 'As a consultancy which has helped cities across the UK harness the potential of new technology and data to improve the lives of residents, we are keen to explore how we can work with our partners, including Glasgow City Council, to tackle some of the biggest social and environmental challenges facing those who live, visit and work in the city. It's fantastic to kick off this important work with such a great team.' The Feasibility Studies (FS) Competition is part of the £150million CAM Pathfinder programme, which was announced in the UK Government's Industrial Strategy. The UK Government sees a thriving CAM ecosystem as being key to driving innovation and helping it realise its ambition of creating a £40bn CAM sector and over 6,500 jobs in the industry by 2040. Mark Cracknell, Programme Director at Zenzic, said: 'We are thrilled to announce the GAMMA project, spearheaded by DG Cities, ZF and Admiral Insurance, as one of the fourteen exciting CAM Pathfinder Feasibility Studies taking place across the UK. 'The deployment of Connected and Automated Mobility solutions in our towns and cities holds incredible promise - enhancing accessibility, reducing emissions, and fostering a transport network that is both reliable and inclusive. The GAMMA project will serve as a pivotal example in showcasing those benefits. 'We are looking forward to working with the project consortia as they further develop their business case, demonstrate the commercial readiness of the service, and provide vital insight into the opportunities presented by the deployment of CAM solutions in regions throughout the UK."
