Gloucester Massachusetts 4K
In 1642 the Massachusetts Bay Colony set aside the rocky land beyond the Annisquam, and named it Gloucester. The new settlers homesteaded and fished, but the area was also thickly wooded, so initially timber, not fish, was Gloucester’s primary export. It was so important that in 1667 settlement in the area that was to become Rockport over a century later was forbidden, in order to protect the forest.
About 40 of these early settlers built houses in the heart of Cape Ann in an area called Dogtown, a place of myth and mystery even today. In the 1700s it was occupied by some of our wealthiest citizens, and provided a safe refuge from both the occasional pirate and marauding French and British ships. By 1830 its last inhabitant had been taken away to the Poor Farm and nothing now remains of this once thriving community but the cellar holes. During the Great Depression local philanthropist Roger W. Babson hired out-of-work stone cutters to carve inspirational sayings into 23 of the large boulders dotting the area. At the same time he donated 1,150 acres of Dogtown to the City of Gloucester for use as a park and watershed, which currently offers rich recreational opportunities to hikers, bikers, dog-walkers, cross-country skiers, horseback riders and nature lovers.
Gloucester also had a good safe harbor with easy access to the rich off shore fishing grounds, so over time, as the trees became less plentiful, the major industry gradually changed to fishing and foreign trade. In 1713 the schooner, which became the country’s foremost fishing vessel for more than 200 years, was first designed and built in Gloucester. By the early 1800s shipbuilding was increasing and the fishing fleet was traveling to the Grand Banks after halibut. In 1879 alone there were almost 450 fishing vessels in town employing over 5,000 men catching more than 91million pounds of cod, haddock, halibut, hake, pollock, mackerel and herring. Sometimes you could not see the water in the harbor for the vessels moored there. But all this came with a price. That same year was devastating for the Gloucester fleet. Thirty-two vessels and 266 men were lost, half of them in a single February storm. In 1883 the young fisherman Howard Blackburn, adrift in his dory in a raging snow storm, rowed towards land for five days, his hands frozen to the oars. He survived the ordeal but lost all his fingers. Despite this handicap he later sailed single-handed across the Atlantic in his sloop Great Western (which can be visited at the Cape Ann Museum). The names of 5,368 lost fishermen are inscribed on 9 bronze plaques where the famous Fisherman at the Wheel statue stands looking out to sea. Gloucester fishermen continue to brave the seas today, making the city the oldest fishing community in the nation.
Gloucester has a thriving cultural heritage too. Books have been written and movies made of and in Gloucester (among them Kipling’s Captain’s Courageous and Junger’s The Perfect Storm), and the city is featured in the popular TV series Wicked Tuna. Rocky Neck, home to one of the oldest working Art Colonies in America, protects the inner harbor. There, artists like Theresa Bernstein, John Sloan, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper, Frederick J. Mulhaupt and many others found both a home and inspiration.

Gloucester Harbor Days of the Sea Serpent
Have you ever heard of a Sea Serpent? You don't hear about them much today. There's no proof they actually ever exsisted. However, back in the summer of 1817 there sure were a lot of people from Gloucester, MA that would tell you other wise. Reports came in from the harbor and all over Cape Ann as well. What were they seeing? Monster or Myth? Take a ride around the harbor, hear some theories, & decide yourself.
