Gloucester’s History and Culture

Life of a Dory Fisherman – Experience first-hand a day in the life of a dory fisherman: how they worked, slept, ate, what they wore in all weather and how they adapted in a unique environment. Compare their lives to today’s fisherman. Use their tools and sit in their dories.

Immigrant Story – Between 1900 and 1915 more than 15 million immigrants came to the United States.  Many who came to Gloucester worked in the fishing industry. Learn about the families that caught our fish, where they came from, how they lived and the challenges they faced.
