Greetings from Marcy Street! – or should I say “virtual greetings” from Marcy Street as we are all working remotely these days. We hope that everyone in our Gundalow Company family is staying healthy and we are thinking of each of you as we all navigate these turbulent times. We remain hopeful that we will be able to be together again soon with the sun on our faces and the Gundalow Piscataqua’s sail full. The Gundalow Company is a family and a community and now more than ever it’s important to keep this community engaged, informed, and hopeful. So, we’ll […]
During the winter, the Gundalow Piscataqua stays in the water. We build a winter weather cover on top, and frequently check underneath to make sure all is well. Step aboard with Captain Matt to see what it looks like under the cover! Subscribe to our you tube channel for more videos like this.

Gundalow Guardians Bob Kozman (left) and Ed Caylor, both residents of Portsmouth, have been volunteering their time and elbow grease protecting the Piscataqua for four and six winters, respectively. They check bilges, docklines, and the cover on a regular basis, and especially after winter storms, when they shovel snow off the gangway and dock. “Bob and Ed are two of our most dedicated long-term volunteers,“ says Captain Matt Glenn.
Do you love spending time on the water? Are you passionate about maritime heritage or the environment? Do you want to help us share this message with campers and the public? The Gundalow Company will offer two apprentice programs during the summer of 2020 for high school students to develop new skills either as a Gundalow Apprentice or a Gundalow Camp Apprentice.
The selected design will be displayed on festival t-shirts, the website, all marketing materials, festival program and more! Also the winner of the 2020 Piscataqua Riverfest Design Competition will receive: a free t-shirt, 5 free tickets to the Piscataqua Riverfest on June 6th, and $50 cash. See Contest Details here. Our 2019 logo was designed by Susan Mast!
We’ll be covering the Gundalow for the winter on Tuesday December 10th. At 9:00am, Matt will have a u-haul truck at Great Bay Marine and can use about 5 people to load the cover materials. At 11:00am, we’ll meet in Prescott Park, unload the truck, and begin building the cover. Hoping to have a dozen or more volunteers to help. The forecast now is warm with a 40% chance of rain– if we can, we’ll get the full wood frame built, but if it’s lousy weather we may quit early.
