No one thinks much about commercial swordfishing and the Port of New Bedford, but 50 years ago or so, that line of work was fairly prominent on the waterfront.
The New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center, located at 38 Bethel Street, is reviving those memories with a new exhibit, "Stand Clear the Line: Swordfishing on the SouthCoast."
The free exhibit opens on April 11 (AHA! Night) at 5 p.m.
