Fun in Gloucester
Gloucester is America’s oldest seaport, and its famous commercial fishing fleet still works the waters of nearby Georges Bank for cod, halibut, haddock, flounder and lobster. There are lighthouses, scenic beaches, a historic working harbor and a thriving artist’s colony. It has been estimated that as many as 10,000 Gloucester fisherman have been lost at sea since the 1600's. Dedicated in 1925, the city’s iconic landmark, The Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial overlooks the harbor. The larger-than-life bronze statue depicts a fisherman at the helm with the inscription “They That Go Down To The Sea In Ships.”
