    • Capt Nelson Amero Gloucester, MA.
      "Captain Nelson L. Amero (August 15, 1884?April 12, 1963) was originally from West Pubnico, Nova Scotia. He was married to Maude Georgina Powers (I believe she was from Newfoundland), and I've been told they met on a passenger ship coming to Gloucester, Mass. They were married here somewhere in the early 1900s, settled on Columbia Street, and had 9 children. He owned the fishing schooner Doris F. Amero (named after his only daughter) during the 1930s and 1940s. It used to tie up at Sherm Ruth's Wharf here in Gloucester. Many of his sons fished with him.

      One of Captain Amero's sons was Stanford Owen Amero (who died in 1947). He was an engineer on the family fishing boat, keeping the motor in working order. My mother, Ruth Maude (Amero) Viator is his daughter."--Lori Viator, 2011
