GMHC

Maritime Gloucester celebrates the city's historic relationship with the sea. Here you can watch a boat builder shape a traditional wooden dory, handle sea stars 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 are open seven days a week from 10 am to 5 pm through October. Admission is $6/adults.$5/seniors $3/children, with a maximum charge of $12 per family.
