Andre the Seal

Rockport's biggest attraction? That may well be the granite statue of Andre the Seal. Andre was a crowd-pleasing showboat who swam to the harbor every summer from Boston, from the 1970s until his death in the mid-'80s. He was the subject of a children's book, Andre the Seal, and a 1994 movie.
