MARITIME
HERITAGE
DAY

America's oldest seaport, and the beloved working waterfront at Maritime Gloucester, come alive again this year for Maritime Heritage Day! Maritime Gloucester hosts a day of exciting demonstrations and interactive fun for all ages.

In addition to our exhibitors, we will have music, schooner charters, and delicious treats. Many of the Gloucester Schooner Festival's visiting schooners will be open to deck tours and charters. This festival will take place over three locations on the Gloucester Waterfront, our own Harriet Webster Pier on Harbor Loop, the Schooner Docks at the neighboring I4C2 lot, and, new this year, the docks at Ocean Alliance on Rocky Neck.

This is an exciting day with something for everyone from the budding marine biologist to the maritime history enthusiast.
