UPCOMING: 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GFWM--WATCH FOR THE DATE!

On August 5, 2001, the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Memorial was dedicated. It is hard to believe that ten years has passed. Many individuals, groups, and businesses donated to make this vision a reality and since 2001, many people have visited the Memorial site. This August, we will celebrate this landmark and invite you to join us. As soon as we know the date, we will post it and hope you will put it on your calendar.

Envisioned by the wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of Gloucester fishermen, the memorial honors not only the faith, diligence, and fortitude of the wives of fishermen and mariners everywhere but also honors all women for their unselfish contribution to the well being of their families and their communities.
