Early morning at the port
Good Morning I hope allis wellwith you
Today I will sahe a few shots from an early morning walk at the port here in New Bedford
I do enjoy my walks there, I do prefer walks on the beaches i will admit but for a change from time to time I visit the port
Sometimes I am fortunate to capture the ships with some nice color sof sunrise inthe background
This spot near to where i generally park, has a couple of tour boats some police boats in the forground and then some commercial fishing boats inthe background

New Bedfor dis one of the busiest fishing ports in the country so there are always plenty of the boats docked at the port
there are a few marinas here with private boats but I do not get many photos of them as you have to be a member to get out on the docks at them
Some more of the commercial fishing boats

New Bedford was once the whaling capitol of the world, today the Port of New Bedford/Fairhaven is the largest fishing port in the northeast, and has been the nation's most valuable fishing port for the past sixteen years
I could not find recent numbers but I did find that
New Bedford ranked No. 1 for the value of seafood landed at its port for the 20th consecutive year in 2019, with $451 million worth of fish hauled in by its boats. That was up by $20 million compared with the year before, and far outpaced the second-ranked Port of Naknek, Alaska, which had $289 million worth of landings.
