Look for new items in the shop, new floats off (and on) the wharf, and some familiar faces around and about: Capt. Harold on the Ardelle, Geno in the Dory Shop, Stubby making sure it all runs smoothly.
Coming soon: new look to the shop (see below), interpretive kiosks along the walk, the compass rose sculpture at our entrance!
From now until the end of October we’ll be here everyday from 10:00 to 6:00 everyday. Join us!

A New Look at Maritime Gloucester
Aaron Snider works on a prototype frame for our new informational kiosks. The kiosks will line the walkway from Harbor Loop to the Harriet Webster Wharf. Each kiosk will describe a facet of life associated with Gloucester Harbor. Thanks to the City of Gloucester for help with this exciting project.
American Eels are the latest addition to the creatures in our Aquarium. Come by and check out the rock crabs, the skates, the sea ravens, and much more!
Our museum shop will be getting a facelift. Details are still in the works, but expect to see something like this. Many thanks to Monty Lewis Designs for his work on this and so many other things!
MG and the City of Gloucester are Winnahs!
