Seaport Cardi
Seaport ~ a harbor for the exchange of international and domestic goods, a port for people to gather and share culture, arts and ideas. The Northeast is home to many historic shipyards and harbors. Many of these industrial waterfront areas have been transformed into places of beauty and recreation ~ jumping off points for exploring the cities and towns along the coast. This Seaport Cardi enjoyed its first stroll along the harbor in Newburyport, MA.
