Cape Ann Massachusetts - Official Chamber Video
Beaches, fresh seafood and hundreds of hotel rooms with an ocean view. No, we’re not talking about Cape Cod, we’re talking about Cape Ann!
These quintessential seaside communities hold everything you want for a place to call home, do business or visit on vacation.
Cape Ann is one of our nation’s first settlements and home to America’s oldest seaport, so there’s much to learn about the region’s nearly 400-year history at dozens of area museums and historic sites.
More recently, Cape Ann has become a must-see visitor destination complete with over 1,000 hotel rooms and inns for those who want to linger and enjoy the area’s many attractions. Whether it’s antiquing in Essex, gallery hopping in Rockport, dining in Gloucester or shopping in Manchester-by-the-Seas, you’ll find plenty to do.
You and your family will also enjoy ample opportunities for beaching and boating here. And be sure to pack your binoculars - Cape Ann is also known as the whale watching capital of the world!
Throughout the year Cape Ann is home to fun festivals for the whole family, including the weeklong Cape Ann Plein Air in the fall that attracts artists and art-lovers from across the country.
With the oldest working harbors in the United States and its sea to table heritage, Cape Ann offers the freshest seafood and a vibrant restaurant scene. If you’re looking for culture Cape Ann is your destination. You can enjoy the sounds of jazz or classical music at Rockport’s beautiful seaside Shalin Liu Performance Center or live professional theater at Gloucester Stage.
Together, these four communities provide all the seaside charm New England has to offer, all within an hour’s ride from Boston. With a cost of living much lower than the city and great schools, Cape Ann is an incredible place to call home.

TheSteveEL visits Cape Ann, Massachusetts
I had the opportunity to visit Cape Ann and the communities of Rockport and Gloucester in November 2015. The tourists are gone, and winter is coming. This video and the music is somewhat somber and reflective of the hard working residents and fishermen, the change of the season, and the incoming news of the tragedy in Paris that was unfolding while I was there. Cape Ann has a beautiful coast line with rich seaport history. I really enjoyed my brief time there.

Homer's Wine-Dark Seas- Marc Simpson Lecture at Cape Ann Museum
This lecture was given at the Cape Ann Museum in conjunction with their Homer at the Beach: A Marine Painter's Journey, 1869-1880 Art Exhibit.
From 1873 to at least 1905, Winslow Homer made watercolors that figure among the most glorious of his achievements. You will see, he said, in the future I will live by my watercolors—and this has proven to be the case. But even in the context of these remarkable accomplishments, his views of sunsets and fireworks done in Gloucester in the summer of 1880 stand out. Consideration of them, and of a small cluster of later works, prompts reflections on both Homer’s spirituality and his heroism. These in turn, especially in the context of comparisons that have been made between Homer and his colleague James McNeill Whistler, raise questions about how we write art history.
Marc Simpson received a BA from Middlebury College (in both music and art) and an MA, MPhil and PhD from Yale University, with a dissertation devoted to the American artists and writers working in the Worcestershire village of Broadway in the 1880s. He has held curatorial posts in American art at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco (1983-94) and at the Clark Art Institute (2004-09), and has worked at the National Gallery of Art (1982-83) and the Yale University Art Gallery (1976-1980). From 1994 to 2000 he worked for the Getty Information Institute’s Bibliography of the History of Art. In 2000 he was appointed Associate Director /Lecturer in the Graduate Program in the History of Art at Williams College, from which he retired in 2013. He also has held adjunct faculty posts at UC Berkeley and Stanford University.
Simpson has worked principally on topics in late 19th-century American art, with an emphasis on the work of Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and James McNeill Whistler. He has numerous book and exhibition reviews published in such periodicals as Burlington Magazine and online, as well as independent essays on the proper viewing distances for Homer’s works (2018), Eakins’s Meditation (2015), caricatures done in Broadway in the 1880s (2010), Homer’s paintings of milkmaids (2000), 19th-century critics’ linking of Sargent and Velázquez (1998), the earliest exhibition of Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party (1997), and Eakins’s Arcadian works (1987).
Simpson has lectured widely in the United States and occasionally in Europe. He has served on a variety of museum and foundation advisory boards, prize and academic committees, and as a reviewer of manuscripts for academic publishers and periodicals. He has received honors and fellowships from the Victorian Society in America, the Terra Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, and he held a Fulbright Fellowship in Great Britain. He is currently at work on a biography and collection history of Ferdinand Howald, who formed one of the preeminent collections of American modernism in the early 20th century. Simpson now lives in Bennington, Vermont, with his wife, the art editor and historian of 19th-century French art Fronia Wissman Simpson.

Gloucester Massachusetts 4K
In 1642 the Massachusetts Bay Colony set aside the rocky land beyond the Annisquam, and named it Gloucester. The new settlers homesteaded and fished, but the area was also thickly wooded, so initially timber, not fish, was Gloucester’s primary export. It was so important that in 1667 settlement in the area that was to become Rockport over a century later was forbidden, in order to protect the forest.
About 40 of these early settlers built houses in the heart of Cape Ann in an area called Dogtown, a place of myth and mystery even today. In the 1700s it was occupied by some of our wealthiest citizens, and provided a safe refuge from both the occasional pirate and marauding French and British ships. By 1830 its last inhabitant had been taken away to the Poor Farm and nothing now remains of this once thriving community but the cellar holes. During the Great Depression local philanthropist Roger W. Babson hired out-of-work stone cutters to carve inspirational sayings into 23 of the large boulders dotting the area. At the same time he donated 1,150 acres of Dogtown to the City of Gloucester for use as a park and watershed, which currently offers rich recreational opportunities to hikers, bikers, dog-walkers, cross-country skiers, horseback riders and nature lovers.
Gloucester also had a good safe harbor with easy access to the rich off shore fishing grounds, so over time, as the trees became less plentiful, the major industry gradually changed to fishing and foreign trade. In 1713 the schooner, which became the country’s foremost fishing vessel for more than 200 years, was first designed and built in Gloucester. By the early 1800s shipbuilding was increasing and the fishing fleet was traveling to the Grand Banks after halibut. In 1879 alone there were almost 450 fishing vessels in town employing over 5,000 men catching more than 91million pounds of cod, haddock, halibut, hake, pollock, mackerel and herring. Sometimes you could not see the water in the harbor for the vessels moored there. But all this came with a price. That same year was devastating for the Gloucester fleet. Thirty-two vessels and 266 men were lost, half of them in a single February storm. In 1883 the young fisherman Howard Blackburn, adrift in his dory in a raging snow storm, rowed towards land for five days, his hands frozen to the oars. He survived the ordeal but lost all his fingers. Despite this handicap he later sailed single-handed across the Atlantic in his sloop Great Western (which can be visited at the Cape Ann Museum). The names of 5,368 lost fishermen are inscribed on 9 bronze plaques where the famous Fisherman at the Wheel statue stands looking out to sea. Gloucester fishermen continue to brave the seas today, making the city the oldest fishing community in the nation.
Gloucester has a thriving cultural heritage too. Books have been written and movies made of and in Gloucester (among them Kipling’s Captain’s Courageous and Junger’s The Perfect Storm), and the city is featured in the popular TV series Wicked Tuna. Rocky Neck, home to one of the oldest working Art Colonies in America, protects the inner harbor. There, artists like Theresa Bernstein, John Sloan, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper, Frederick J. Mulhaupt and many others found both a home and inspiration.
Make way in The Centinal Cape Ann
ALFRED JOHNSON'S CENTENNIAL
In 1876, coinciding with United States' first centennial, Danish-born Gloucester fisherman Alfred Johnson (1846–1927) made history with the world's first recorded single-handed crossing of the Atlantic. Leaving from Gloucester in mid June in a small customized dory he named Centennial, Johnson landed in Liverpool in late August, the trip totalling 66 days.
Following a few months' stay in England, Johnson returned to Gloucester aboard a passenger ship, with Centennial in tow.
