These are free high resolution photos of the land areas of Fairhaven, MA, USA. Located on the North coast of Buzzards Bay, Fairhaven shares the harbor with the major fishing city of New Bedford. Perhaps half the New Bedford fleet is probably from Fairhaven as it likely was during the heyday of whaling. Fairhaven is located along Route I-195, between Providence, RI, and Cape Cod.
See the Home Page for more Fairhaven and area pictures.
The area was first settled by the American Indians, then the Pilgrims. The American Revolution brought warfare and the first American naval battle in 1775. The British attacked and torched part of the town in1778. Joshua Slocum rebuilt the sloop SPRAY and sailed it around the world. Henry Huttleston Rogers built nearly all the significant architecture in the town. For over 100 years a mainstay for recreation and entertainment was Lincoln Park, in North Dartmouth. See a Lincoln Park Video here.
