Gorton-Pew Fish Company
To see the name Gorton is to think of fish. Here one can secure permission to visit the canneries. The history of this great company goes back to 1623 when the Pilgrim Fathers founded Gloucester. There is every evidence to prove that the present officers are descendants of the original settlers even though the present company had its organization in 1849. It is interesting to note that the pilgrims shipped the first cargo of fish to Spain in 1623.
