About this postcard

Moored fishing boats crowd a calm harbor at Gloucester, Mass., their masts and rigging reflected in blue water. A teal-hulled boat lettered "BARBARA C." lies alongside a wooden pier at right, with smaller skiffs and a white cabin launch nearby. Gloucester was a long-standing center of New England's fishing trade, and the scene shows the working harbor with vessels tied up between trips.
