INTRODUCTION
voyage was continued to Massachusetts Bay. Our first colonists, there- fore, were fishermen and the first business of the place was fishing.
With the exception, possibly, of a very few years immediately follow- ing 1626, the fisheries have been followed from this port throughout all these 300 years, practically without interruption. Its history is a fitting story of a hardy race of fisher folk, who have ever braved the call of the deep in the pursuit of their industry which today ranks as the oldest in Massachusetts. It teems with stories of self-sacrifice and valor. It has been a costly industry, however. Braving the sorms and perils of the ocean in seeking their existence, scouring the seas almost to the Arctic Circle in their perilous quest, at the mercy of the storms and the heavy fogs, the treacherous shoals and drifting boats, over 8,000 of these men have been sacrificed in this perilous calling.
The name of Gloucester has been associated with the curing, catching, packing and distribution of fish since its early settlement in 1623. This industry may truly be said to be the corner stone upon which the city's prosperity and reputation has been based, although at the same time other pursuits have gained ground and prospered.
Gloucester presently has 25 firms engaged in handling and process- ing fish. Of this number, five are engaged in fish cooking processes, principally fish sticks. The total number employed in shore processing and fish cooking plants varies from 1,100 to 2,600 during the peak pro- duction season.
Production of cooked and breaded fish items in 1962 amounted to 42,000,000 pounds, of which 22,000,000 pounds were fish sticks. The base product from which fish sticks and other cooked fish items are made from frozen blocks of fillets, principally cod, imported from Canada, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Greenland, Iceland, and more recently from Norway and Denmark. These imports come in principally by cargo steamer, although large amounts are trucked from other ports of entry. Gloucester in recent years has developed into a distributing port of fish blocks to fish stick processors all over the country-as far as the Pacific Coast. "Total imports of fish and shellfish amounted to 110,000,000 pounds in 1962, of which 63,000,000 pounds were frozen blocks.'
Gloucester has upwards to 130 vessels of 5 to over 100 tons gross engaged in off-shore fishing, and more than 100 under five tons engaged in inshore fishing and lobster fishing. Crews of Gloucester fishing ves- sels total upwards to 2,000.
Gloucester has a State Fish Pier which started operating early in 1939, located at the foot of Parker Street and over-lapping what former- ly was Five Pound Island. It has a modern cold storage plant with capa- city of 7,500,000 pounds. This pier is equipped to engage in an extensive fresh fish business. Individual stalls are rented to operating firms. 9 facilities now provide Gloucester with a total of 52,650,000 pounds of cold storage space, and a total daily freezing capacity (24 hours) of approximately 1,750,000 pounds. Landings of fresh fish at Gloucester increased from 75,661,000 pounds in 1939 with a value to fishermen of $1,202,000 to a total of 167,219,000 pounds in 1962 with a value to fish- ermen of $6,421,000. Gloucester is one of the largest fish producing ports in the country. Gloucester also has two plants engaged in fish by- product manufacture. These plants use waste resulting from fish pro- cessing and non-edible fish (principally menhaden) for extraction of fish oils and the conversion to fish solubles and fish meal used in the pro- cessing of poultry and animal feeds.
Manufacturing and Local Industries
Gloucester has many other industries aside from the fisheries but one directly connected with these, is the manufacture of liquid fish glue. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew that a strong adhesive could be extracted from the skins of certain fish, and used this adhesive for such
XI
INTRODUCTION
delicate purposes as fastening precious stones in their setting. Fish glue, however, was made in very small quantities and had to be used immediately. It was not until the last century, sometime between 1870 and 1875, that liquid glue was made a commercial possibility by the discovery of means whereby it might be permanently preserved in liquid form.
Formerly, quarrying of granite was a very important industry. In recent years, quarries at Rockport have been closed, and the industry there is concerned principally at the present time in the cutting of granite pavement blocks.

While Gloucester is situated far from the sources of supply of some raw materials, it has several advantages over inland cities. For in- stance, the city is on the sea coast where it can obtain various supplies direct by water, at a cheaper rate than by rail. It is located on the Boston & Maine Railroad, with a schedule of sixteen trains daily to and from Boston. Route 128, opened to traffic in 1953 with a high-level bridge over the Annisquam River. Route 128 is a modern double-barrel- ed highway into Gloucester with a circumferential connection to the State Fish Pier and to Route 127 into Rockport. Route 128 connects with all major highways to New York and to points west. Routes 133 (formerly 121) and 127 also are primary highways routes into Gloucester.
Summer Colonies
The whole of Cape Ann is an ideal resort for the summer tourist. Its admirable location, surrounded practically on every side by the open sea, its magnificent summer climate, never extreme on the hottest days in summer; its natural rugged beauty; its many beaches, both large and small; its pretty inland roads through hard wood groves; its splendid summer cottages and hotels; all combine to make Cape Ann a splendid summer home for those who wish to escape the monotony of city life. Gloucester has long since taken its place as the ideal summer resort. To point out any particular charm it may hold for the summer visitor is difficult, for the attractions are many and of sufficient varieties to satisfy the most exacting critic.
It combines within a radius of one-half dozen miles practically every type of natural scenery found anywhere. Its picturesque harbor wharves, inspiring in thought the 300 years of struggle with the sea that its fisher- men have endured in the pursuit of its industry; its many boats entering and leaving the harbor in plying their trade; its foreign fishing colonies, -those of the Italian and Portuguese; its beaches and parks; combine to make Gloucester ideal to the tourist.
Churches
Church influence is strong in Gloucester, many social and welfare activities centering in the church organizations, of which there are twenty-one in the city. The first church was organized in 1632.
There are over ninety clubs and fraternal organizations in the city,
XII
INTRODUCTION
including the Woman's Club, Rotary Club, The Kiwanis Club and the Gloucester Chamber of Commerce.
Good government, good roads, good schools, congenial social condi- tions, a high standard of citizenship, covenience to shipping points, nearness to a market, excellent transportation facilities, abundant recreational and amusement facilities, the advantages of homes in the open spaces combined with urban conveniences-these are the qualities that go to make a city desirable-and Gloucester has them all.
Gloucester Chamber of Commerce
The Gloucester Chamber of Commerce is organized for the service of the public and for the promotion of the business and industrial growth of the community. Further information regarding manufacturing oppor- tunities, business facilities and residential advantages, will be gladly supplied upon request by the Gloucester Chamber of Commerce, 120 Main Street.
ROCKPORT
Rockport, or Sandy Bay, as the town was formerly called, was a part of Gloucester until 1840, when it was incorporated and set up its own town government. Like Gloucester, its inhabitants early engaged in the fishing industry, but not possessing the facilities for large vessels, the pursuit of this industry has been largely confined to the shore fisheries, the trapping of lobsters forming the major portion of the business as carried on today.
Rockport granite is known the country over and the quarries at Rock- port, Pigeon Cove and Bay View have produced many thousands of tons of this valuable stone and have furnished employment to several hundred workmen. The industry dates from about 1823, when the quarries were first worked, and has furnished granite for government fortifications and navy yards, Boston Custom House Tower, Woolworth Building in New York, and Brooklyn Bridge.
The summer colony has grown considerably in the last twenty years. A cleaner and more wholesome town in which to spend the summer can- not be found in New England. There are a number of good beaches, a beautiful shore drive, and the ocean scenery is unsurpassed. Many artists make their homes here during the summer months and find interesting subjects to transfer to their canvasses along the quaint old wharves and rugged shore.
The breakwater erected by the government has given Rockport a safe harbor, available for large vessels of all types, and the town is often visited during the summer by some of the fleets of United States War- ships.

You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory informa- tion, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
