Olde New Bedford Yacht Club (formally Capt. Leroy)

New Bedford has a history of seafaring traditions that continue today with a busy active fishing fleet, and has an outstanding, multi-ethnic work force. New Bedford plays host to a wide assortment of traffic. Most important is our fishing fleet with more than 200 vessels operating out of the Harbor. These vessels consist mainly of steel hull construction and are fishing for ground-fish and scallops, supplying the nation with a fresh product, second to none.
