Long renowned as the “Birthplace of the American Navy,” Marblehead has also emerged as one of the yachting capitals of the world in recent years. Pleasure boating is a popular pastime among residents and vacationers alike.
Marblehead offers a gorgeous seaside landscape along with a bounty of historical attractions. Visitors come from all over the world to view the original of the famous painting, “The Spirit of ’76″, which is housed in Abbot Hall in the office of the Board of Selectmen, as well as to see the beautiful harbor crowded with sailing, fishing, lobster and pleasure boats.
Another major attraction for visitors is the narrow crooked streets in Marblehead’s Historic District, lined with Colonial and Victorian buildings, some of which have been placed on the National Register.
