Having worked for Peter and Michael since Captain Bill’s reopening in 1998, Kelly was well equipped to continue the journey with Michael. Upon McCarthy’s retirement in 2018, Kelly Kiernan took over as managing partner with Michael Korb. One year later, the Anchorage was renovated and renamed The Bayview House, accommodating larger parties and waterfront weddings. After a multimillion-dollar renovation, Captain Bill’s reopened its doors in June of 1998.
In 1998, Peter McCarthy and Michael Korb, approached Modica about reopening the historic landmark. After severalĪttempts by different groups to turn Captain Bill’s into a successful business, its doors were shut for several years until a local real estate investor, Lou Modica, purchased the property. In 1982 Carl Anton purchased the marina, restaurant and catering hall, however the property was put into receivership in the late 1980’s. In the late 1950’s, Carl and Sophie purchased the building next door as a catering hall, calling it the Anchorage. He eventually bought the wooden structure, started a small clam bar and named it after himself.Ĭaptain Bill sold the clam bar in the early 1950’s to Sophie and Carl Abendroth who eventually renovated the building and built what is now the main restaurant. Captain Bill was a legend in the area and quite a salty character. One of the original boatmen, Captain Bill Eccleston would travel to neighboring towns selling fish and clams, blowing a bugle horn to announce his presence. Fishing party boats were run out of the building.
The history of Captain Bill’s dates back to the late 1920’s when there was a simple 24 by 24 wooden structure standing at the foot of Ocean Avenue and run by the Boatmen’s Association.
