Description
This is a real working harbor in Gloucester Massachusetts. The Ruth D. is a lobster boat sitting in her berth and further away you can see commercial fishing boats that work for places like Groton seafood and others. Day in and day out they will go out on the ocean and cast their nets upon the ocean with hopes of bringing in enough to pay the bills. In the 17th century, the water off Cape Ann south to Boston was heavily laden with cod, so much so that the beginnings of the United States can be traced to us trading fish both up and down the east coast but also sending salted cod over to England and Europe.
