In this centennial year of the nation, when all the world is to be represented at Philadelphia, our young city by the sea, through some of her leading citizens, felt a strong desire to add her tribute to the exhibition, and let the people know what she had been doing for a hundred years or more.

The Centennial fever was raging ever-where, and the symptoms were soon manifest in our community. Meetings were held, and it was determined that the fishing business, which Gloucester had pursued so long and clung to so tenaciously, through good seasons and poor, through sacrifices of life and property which are indeed appalling, should be represented. To this end a committee was appointed, and owing to their untiring zeal and labors there maybe seen in the Gloucester department of the Agricultural Building at Philadelphia, a tank 23 x 12 feet, filled with water, in which correct models of the fishing fleet, of the olden time and of modern times, are afloat, illustrative of the various branches of the fisheries. A miniature wharf, of the present day, perfect in all its details, and a cob wharf of the olden time, a graving dock and marine railway-, make into the tank, while crews of miniature model fishermen, clad in the garments peculiar to their avocation, impart animation to the scene, the whole giving a vivid idea of the manner in which the fisheries of Gloucester are pursued. About the tank may be seen specimens of the products of the fisheries, of fishing gear, cordage and various patented articles of merit used in the business, together with specimens of minerals, mosses, shells, coral, sea-corn, and other curious productions of old Neptunes garden at the bottom of the sea, brought in by the fishermen or gathered along our beaches.
