The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center celebrates Gloucester's historic relationship with the sea. The Center features the oldest continuously operating marine railway in the country, the Sarah Fraser Robbins Marine Education Center, the Gorton's Seafoods Gallery, two boatbuilding shops, an outdoor aquarium, and exhibits focusing on the history of the fishing industry and the natural history of the Gulf of Maine. Located on the city's working waterfront, the Center offers the most extensive public access to Gloucester's industrial harbor. From the Main Pier, enjoy panoramic views of Ten Pound Island, Rocky Neck, and the State Fish Pier, as well as an ongoing parade of draggers, trawlers, tugboats, and pleasure boats departing and returning to the inner harbor.
