Maritime Gloucester

Maritime Gloucester is a working waterfront, maritime museum, sea pocket aquarium all rolled into one exciting destination. The mission of Maritime Gloucester is to inspire students and visitors to value marine science, maritime heritage and environmental stewardship through hands-on education and experiences. 

Our passion is sharing our fantastic site with the public. We work with local schools, engaging students with hands-on marine science education. Our adult programs teach old skills and new technique across our working waterfront. We leverage the rich maritime heritage of Gloucester and our unique marine environment to offer a host of exciting programs, public pop-up workshops, schooner sailing experiences and much more.
