"When explorer Samuel de Champlain first sailed into Gloucester Harbor in the early 1600’s, he christened it "LeBeauport"– The Beautiful Harbor. Today, this beautiful harbor and rustic oceanside village is known as the largest bluefin tuna fishing port in the world and home of The Perfect Storm. The waves on the water, the wide-open sky, the aroma of salt water, the craggy rocks, and the picturesque quaintness of Gloucester, still create beauty for the people who live here and the many tourists that visit throughout the year. The city has also been home for internationally renowned artists Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Fitzhugh Lane, and sculptor Walker Hancock who marveled at the purity of its light. This beautiful harbor is a working harbor, recognized as one of the busiest fishing ports on the Eastern seaboard. Here, the fishing fleet supports a major fish packaging and freezing industry. Tuna, mackerel, bass, bluefish, haddock and cod lure the professional fisherman and sports fisherman alike. And for a real seafaring nature thrill, Gloucester is also one of the best places in the world for whale watching." Extract in quotes taken from The Fisherman's Outfitter
