Sculpture by Jane Wasey

—1978 —

André was born on Robinson's Rock in Penobscot Bay on May 16, 1961. Abandoned at birth, he was found, befriended, raised and trained by Harry Goodridge of Rockport, Maine. André is honorary harbor master of Rockport Harbor and is a celebrity of more than local renown. His antics have delighted people far and wide. André is a harbor seal (Phoca vitulina), the only species that occurs regularly in New England waters.
