Fort Sewall
Fort Sewall
Marblehead Massachusetts
Marblehead, founded in 1629, has always been a famous seaport – for fishing, foreign trade, boat building, sail making and yachting. Local sailors have been champions in world competitions, the America's Cup and the Olympics. Many had their early training at the world's first junior yacht club, the Pleon (1887). Several yacht clubs are located on both sides of the harbor. There are more than 2, 000 boat moorings along the shores of Marblehead.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Front Street and Fort Sewall Terrace, on the right when traveling north.
