Famed as one of the world's most powerful whaling ports during the 19th century,
New Bedford retains status as a major American fishing port to this day. The sheltered,
deep-water harbor
is set at the mouth of the Acushnet
River on Buzzards
Bay and is home to an impressive fishing fleet, ferry services, cruise ship
docking, recreational boating and the official vessel of Massachusetts—the
century-old schooner, Ernestina.
New Bedford's illustrious whaling past is honored at the Whaling
Museum, which boasts the world's most comprehensive collection of whaling
artifacts, and Bedford
Whaling National Historical Park, located downtown by the humming waterfront.
The sea continues to provide for the city and every September New Bedford's residents
celebrate its bounty and the local commercial fishing industry during the lively
annual Working
Waterfront Festival.
But there is more to New Bedford than fishing. Located 60 mi (96 km) south
of Boston in Southeast
Massachusetts, this culturally rich city abounds with compelling shops and
galleries and a diversity of cafes and restaurants—many of which serve
local seafood—while grand, old mansions such as the Rotch-Jones-Duff
House stand remnant of the glory days of whaling. The Buttonwood
Park Zoo highlights the natural world of New England with a focus on regional
marine and wildlife conservation, and the renowned Greater
New Bedford Summerfest pulls in the crowds with a showcase of folk music
and art every summer.
