Mann's Maritime Originals of Gloucester Harbor

Now available are three Gloucester, Mass., Harbor scenes by noted and listed American 21st Century artist Ward Mann, dated 1983. Each oil on board is signed and unique. Discovered in 1605, mapped in 1606, and named LeBeauport (the good port) by the famous French explorer Samuel Champlain, Gloucester’s large harbor and its proximity to ample fishing grounds have enabled Gloucester to be synonymous with fishing for the last two centuries. Gloucester has thrived on fishing, and even though the industry has declined because of ecological and regulatory factors, Gloucester harbor is always busy and beautiful. The harbor is located in the southeastern portion of Gloucester. Click for more information.
