Hardy Gloucester men and large fishing vessels known as
Gloucestermen were ever-present along the busy waterfront of the
North Shore city between the mid-19th century and the early years
of the 20th century. As part of the giant fishing industry, the
vessels, which were owned by Yankee, Portuguese, and Italian
fishermen, were a dramatic and colorful accent along the inner
harbor. In the 1830s, artists discovered the charms of the fishing
port of Gloucester and around forty years later, others were in
Rockport. The art colony at Rocky Neck in East Gloucester is the
earliest in America and was visited, or lived in, by many prominent
painters. Tourists of the past also took delight in the attractive
areas of Cape Ann where they could while away a summer vacation in
a fancy hotel along the rugged shore, explore the local sites, view
the mysterious former settlement of Dogtown, or inspect the many
granite quarries that were active from the 1820s to the Great
Depression.
