A few Commercial fishing boats in New Bedford MA

Good morning, and have a great day.

Since a few have asked, I should mention my visit with the GI doctor went a lot better than I expected about 9 days ago. He increased the dose of one of my meds, which will hopefully reduce the chances of blockages, and gave me another to take if I start getting stomach cramps, to hopefully stop them in their tracks. So far, I haven't needed to take that one, but fingers crossed, and I hope I am not tempting fate saying I seem to be doing better so far :)

Today I will be sharing a few photos of some boats docked here in New Bedford, MA. Although I have never worked on a commercial fishing boat, nor been on many boats other than a couple of ferries, perhaps because of the city's rich history related to fishing, from back in the whaling days to now as one of the busiest fishing ports in the country, I do find myself drawn regularly to take walks at the port and on Pope's Island, where many of them dock.

Starting with the Fishing Vessel Good News II, a commercial scallop boat (scalloper) recognizable by its sturdy rigging and steel-frame structure used to deploy scallop dredges. The day I took this, it had some nice color in the sky as a backdrop.

More scallop boats these ones are docked at Popes Island. Not surprising there are many of them thats one of the biggest catches for the boats here.

Some call New Bedford the Scallop Capital as The port's dominant status is driven almost entirely by the Atlantic sea scallop fleet, which accounts for roughly 80% to 84% of the total catch value.

While ports like Dutch Harbor, Alaska land a higher raw volume of seafood (mostly low-cost pollock), New Bedford's scallops command a premium price per pound, generating over $400 million in annual landings.

The harbor supports over 500 commercial vessels, 370 shoreside maritime businesses, and generates an estimated $11.1 billion in regional economic value

    That Good News II boat really sums up the whole vibe of this post. Awesome to hear the stomach issues are finally backing off so you can keep walking those docks.

    Glad the GI visit went better than expected and that new med seems to be doing its job, and that shot of the Good News II with the colour in the sky behind it is a beauty.

    Hello, dear friend @tattoodjay.

    I hope everything is going very well and that you don’t end up needing to take those new medications.

    What lovely shots of the boats—I really love the reflections.

    Have a beautiful afternoon.

    Good day, Mr. @tattoodjay.

    It’s great to hear that your appointment with your gastroenterologist went well; I hope the new medications prove effective.
