Welcome to the Gloucester Maritime Heritage
Center!
NOTICE: The 2010 Bluenose II Gala Dinner has been moved to The Tavern on the Harbor - 30 Western Ave - Gloucester. Overlooking the Greasy Pole. Click below for: The Center celebrates Gloucester's historic relationship with the sea. Here you can watch a boatbuilder shape a traditional wooden dory, handle seastars and sea urchins in our touch tanks, sound a vintage foghorn, learn about life aboard a schooner 100 years ago, and watch underwater footage of the fabulous creatures that inhabit the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary just three miles offshore. Located at the heart of the city's working waterfront, we offer 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 ever changing parade of draggers, trawlers, tugboats and pleasure boats departing from and returning to the inner harbor. We launch our 2010 season on Saturday, May 22nd and will remain open seven days a week from 10 am to 5 pm through October. Admission is $5/adults. $2/children, with a maximum charge of $10 per family. |
