A fishing town in
Massachusetts where they make
Gorton's Fish Sticks. They celebrated their 375th

America's Oldest Seaport". There is not much there, it is a quirky place that usually stinks like
dead fish. They filmed the movie
The Perfect Storm there in 1999. Other notables - it is the hometown of the famous seascape painter
Fitz Hugh Lane.
