Out of Gloucester

I have always had an interest in our country’s history. Not just the big events like wars and strikes and more wars, but the little everyday items that collectively make our nation tick. Today’s Family Site is one I came across that I think you will like.

It is called Out of Gloucester, and is a most unique site. What started as a genealogy site has developed into an eclectic mixture of genealogy and history, as the webmaster states in his introduction. The city and port of Gloucester, MA are celebrating their 375th anniversary this year, which is a long time to be an incorporated town. This port is renowned for its fishing fleet, which has is well represented here. This site is the outgrowth of an individual who was doing genealogical research, and became intrigued by what was learned during that research. The results are the web page you visit today.

So the next time you want to go down to the sea in ships, make this one of your first stops. It will be time well spent.
