New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center Interested In Photo Submissions

The New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center would like commercial fishermen to submit any original photos for a new exhibit, “Taken Out to Sea,” which will open June 8.

To be considered for the exhibit, fishermen may submit one to three original, at-sea photos by May 15 to programs@fishingheritagecenter.org. The submission or submissions should include the name, phone number, vessel name, type of vessel, and a caption for the photo. Fishermen and their families will be invited to the exhibit opening on June 8.
