On This Page:Gloucester Overview
The ocean has been Gloucester's lifeblood since long before the first European settlement in 1623. The French explorer Samuel de Champlain called the harbor "Le Beauport" when he came across it in 1606, some 600 years after the Vikings. The harbor's configuration and proximity to good fishing gave it the reputation it enjoys to this day. If you read or saw The Perfect Storm, you'll have a sense of what to expect here.
