On this January day, the sea water had frozen but was now looking like crackle glass! It was cloudy and windy but still very beautiful and quaint this January day!

Quaint harbor side park with great views, picnic area and historic kiln. The seal statue is a lot more meaningful if you've read the book.

Rockport Harbor is a lovely harbor. We were there as the sun was setting and were treated to some lovely natural light. If you are in Rockport you owe it to yourself to visit the harbor.

If you have children buy the childrens book about Andre (can be found in any gift shop) and read it to them and take them to see the statue. This monument is to a beloved seal that appeared every year after wintering at an aquarium. The town awarded him a special Harbor Master status. Andre was 25 when he died... More

Andre's statue is on a picturesque little harbor in the town of Rockport. Also in the park there are historic lime kilns. Nearby the town of Rockport has a quaint downtown and beautiful homes.

Went to check out Rockport Harbor (which is beautiful by the way) and saw this guy there. I knew of the movie, but not of the actual story of Andre. Definitely check it out!

I had read about the tale of Andre so I made it a point to visit the marine park while staying in Camden.

As a kid I would ride my bike into Rockport to see Andre perform. It was a summer ritual. The statue is a great tribute. The Harbor is spectacular. Recommend a sailing trip or sea kayaking out of harbor.

Visit the harbor and see the statue. While sailing on the Schooner Yacht Heron, we were told the story. Worth driving by to see.
