Explore the by-gone world of the Gloucester dory fisherman and welcome the new 10’7” dory to the CAM Activity Center!  Join us from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for light refreshments and a chance to meet heritage dory builder/fisherman Geno Mondello of Maritime Gloucester’s Dory Shop. Children can climb on board to simulate dory rowing and shore fishing and dress up as fishermen and other maritime figures.

We’ll also be taking a closer look at the Fisheries & Maritime Galleries and the special exhibition Portraits of a Working Waterfront and creating family portraits in the Activity Center. Free for members and families with school age children.
