Gloucester and 'The Perfect Storm'

The town of about 30,000 people was the filming location for the George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg hit, "The Perfect Storm" (2000). The two play sword boat fisherman who get lost at sea and is based on the true story of the Andrea Gail's tragic sinking during a massive storm on the Atlantic Ocean in 1991.

Cape Ann Lobstermen was established based on three core beliefs: trust, hard work and a common love for a fishery and its members. Lobstering is a hobby for some, a profession for many, and a passion and way of life for all. CAL was founded to protect our community and the fishermen themselves.

Located in historic Gloucester, Massachusetts, we understand the importance of upholding the standards set by the fisherman who came before us. A city that has seen vast change in the last decade but has maintained and preserved it’s love for the ocean and working waterfront has helped Cape Ann Lobstermen’s story evolve.
