Hurry, Space is limited!!!!!!
Maritime Gloucester recently began the final stage of the restoration of the main pier. This project represents the culmination of a decade-long effort to upgrade our public waterfront access to Gloucester Harbor. We could not have accomplished this extraordinary task if not for the tireless efforts of our longtime executive director, Harriet Webster.
The pier will be named for Harriet in recognition of her many contributions to Maritime Gloucester. Maritime Gloucester will host a ceremony dedicating the pier to Harriet and recognizing her public service to Gloucester on May 20, 2012 at 2:00 in the afternoon. We hope that you will be able to join us.
Sincerely,
The board and staff of Maritime Gloucester and Harriet’s Family
