Thomas Lannon's Story
Tom Ellis, the owner of the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon, had heard stories of his grandfather Thomas Lannon coming from Newfoundland as a young man, marrying, and settling in Gloucester. There he fished on the big schooners until he took sick in 1943, at the age of 65. Click here to learn more.
