Although founded in the mid 19th century, this maritime center only gained popularity in the latter parts of the 19th century when it started welcoming more ships in its ports than any other, across the USA (except, New York). It is located in the American state of Washington, on the Quimper Peninsula in Jefferson County, and is famous for its old-worldly Victorian buildings lining the streets. Its artistic spirit, maritime heritage, and quaint atmosphere are such that it attracts quite a few tourists across the year.
