Maritime Gloucester is hosting their annual Heritage Day in honor of the Gloucester Schooner Festival 2024. Step aboard a schooner, learn about traditional shipbuilding and fitting out, watch America’s oldest marine railway in action, or explore the unique biology that makes our oceans so amazing. You can find it all at Maritime Heritage Day! Maritime Gloucester will be hosting a variety of local community organizations with an exciting array of demonstrations and interactive options for all ages.
In addition to our exhibitors, there will be music, schooner charters, and delicious local fare. 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, Maritime Gloucester's Harriet Webster Pier on Harbor Loop, the Schooner Docks at the neighboring I4C2 lot and the Campus if the Ocean Alliance on Rocky Neck.
This is an exciting day with something for everyone from the budding marine biologist to the maritime history enthusiast.
