Marblehead was once the fishing capital of Massachusetts. In 1837 our powerful fishing fleet consisted of 98 vessels, but on Sept. 19, 1846, a storm known as "The Great Gale" caught the Marbleheaders by surprise at sea and at least 11 vessels, plus 65 of the town's men and boys, were lost, marking the beginning of the decline of Marblehead's fishing industry.
