Granddaughter of Massachusetts ship cook to speak at service

August 19, 2015 — Carol Figurido of Gloucester never knew her grandfather.

Thomas Isaac Moulton and five other Gloucester men “went down to the sea in ships” aboard the fishing vessel Mary E. O’Hara in 1941, before Figurido was even born.
