From the West: Gloucester harbor opens wide and is marked by a breakwater. Green bell (1) off Norman's Woe should be kept to port.
From the East: Pass Brace Cove on Eastern Point. A flashing 5 sec 57-foot horn marks the shore end of the breakwater. The other side of the harbor entrance is marked by a red 4 sec 45-foot horn and a red nun (6) is just west of this horn. Keep this nun to starboard. The green can (7) is for commercial vessels.
From the North: Gloucester harbor is accessible from Ipswich Bay via the Annisquam River. No wake rule is enforced along river. Travel during high tides recommended. Two draw-bridges.
