Clarence Manning Falt

CLARENCE MANNING FALT was a pioneer in the fusion of poetry and photography who created two classic Gloucester literary works at the turn of the twentieth century: Points of Interest of Gloucester in Song and Wharf and Fleet: Ballads of the Fishermen of Gloucester.

Points of Interest of Gloucester in Song is an expansion of an earlier work which spotlighted the landmarks and unique physical features of Gloucester. “Fog Bell and Whistling Buoy, Eastern Point Lighthouse” brings two Eastern Point navigational aids to life, and “Mother Ann”, curiously enough, presents the famed rock formation at Eastern Point as a stern and not a nurturing presence.
