Artists including Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, and many others[2] working on Rocky Neck in the 19th and early 20th centuries inspired the Cape Ann style of American Impressionism. Artists still work and display their art in the many Rocky Neck galleries during the summer months. It was also frequented by well-known writers such as Louisa May Alcott and Rudyard Kipling.[3] Judith A. Curtis published a book titled Rocky Neck Art Colony 1850–1950 which features more than 130 photos of artwork, artists and the location, and was designed by Stephen Bridges, in 2015. Rock Neck Art Colony publishes an informative newsletter.
Gloucester Marine Railways, located at the very end of Rocky Neck, was established in 1859,[4] making it one of the oldest working shipyards in the country.
