Gloucester: The Fishermen's City

America's oldest fishing port, in memorials, art, and the harbor itself

The sea made Gloucester rich, and it took plenty back. The waterfront still shows both. Six stops over 8.2 miles, about 41 minutes of driving. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.

It is one of three tours in Gloucester, each taking a different line through the city. Nothing is booked and nothing expires, so you can start it on a whim and finish it whenever you like.
