Beautiful and iconic memorial to all the fishermen lost in Gloucester. Park your car and read about the history. It is very humbling.
Not much to say about the man. He's been here forever. The town that surrounds and backs him up is full of friendly faces, food, and beaches. Don't miss Holy Cow on warm days for the best ice cream in the country. You won't find better seafood anywhere! Just be patient since traffic and pedestrians are both demanding space in the summer. Lazy and full is the best description for a great summer afternoon in Gloucester.
Always stop here on my trips back home. Weekends tend to be crowded and if the weather is warm as well. Excellent harbor trail to walk but the best place is the park down the street.
I have lived here almost my whole life and boy has my beautiful boulevard got a face-lift past the bridge with so much beauty. Looking back to childhood memories of the boulevard and stage fort park it is just amazingly beautiful.
A wonderful monument for those from Gloucester who died at sea just trying to earn their living. We visited on a Sunday and Monday and parking was plentiful and free. Lovely place to walk and enjoy the ocean view.
Great memorial in a coastal town with a view. Stop I. And enjoy the ocean.
Living in NH, I generally go to the coast closer to home. As beautiful as it is, I loved the Gloucester area. I had to go for work showing houses and decided to follow the scenic route to check it out. There was early Christmas festivities going in here and there. Such a wonderful time if year there. We can't wait to go back in warmer weather with our cobra sports car!
A seagull pooped on me while having vanilla ice cream. This place is overcrowded with seagulls dropping food on the road like large clams that will put a dent in your car oreven break your windshield if big or dropped high enough. This kind of reminds me of Lynn Beach, where I had five new dents on my new car from shell fish droppings.
While passing through,we saw the memorial. So,we made a brief visit to see it and the harbor. Nice memorial which honors all of those in fishing industry who died by sea.
Was shocked how beautiful this area was! Gloucester is a beautiful place in general full of history. A lot of thing within walking distance of this memorial include stores, beaches, restaurants, sea shells, or just a relax day looking out to the ocean.
