Here students and visitors can touch marine life and get interactive. It’s a great way to bring kids that don’t have any interaction with marine life into the fold.
There are many interesting activities for children and families at the GMHC.
My sister had her kids birthday party there a couple years ago and the kids had a great time.

Things to Do- GMHC Dive Exhibit
GMHC Dive Exhibit, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
At the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center, diver Paul Harling’s collection features equipment ranging from the homemade rig he used when he made his first dive in 1949 to contemporary helmets produced by Morse Diving, the oldest manufacturer of diving equipment.
He even has some one of those huge metal masks set up for kids to put their heads into and you can take photo’s.
His exhibit is open to the public for free 7 days a week and all year long. If you are looking for something to do with the kids or just taking a stroll along the waterfront, go check out Paul’s exhibit at the GMHC. Tell ’em Joey from Captain Joe’s sent you.

The Maine Lobsterman-From The DC Traveler
In Washington DC there is a statue of a Maine Lobsterman.
From what Jon Rochetti writes, the statue was controversial for a couple of reasons.
One, it is a statue of a man pegging a lobster placed in the heart of crab country. Two the lobsterman is shown kneeling down to peg the lobster (in all my years at the dock, I’ve yet to witness this). Three, the lobsterman wasn’t weearing traditional Sou’wester oilskins which I guess bothered the Maine lobstermen it was supposed to represent.
It’s too bad that the artist who was commissioned to build the statue either didn’t consult with some actual lobstermen or didn’t listen to the ones he did talk too.
Here is the link to the story from The DC Traveler. Check out his site it’s a good read.
