Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial, Historic monument at Stacy Boulevard, Gloucester, US
The eight-foot bronze statue shows a fisherman in oilskins gripping a ship's wheel, standing on a five-foot granite base facing Gloucester Harbor.
The memorial was constructed in 1925 to commemorate Gloucester's 300th anniversary and honor thousands of local fishermen who perished at sea since 1623.
The statue's inscription features text from Psalm 107:23, reflecting the deep connection between maritime life and the religious values of the community.
Visitors can find the memorial along Western Avenue, with street parking available nearby and informational plaques explaining its significance to the fishing industry.
A time capsule containing 47 items representing Gloucester's maritime history from 1923 remains sealed within the granite base of the memorial.
