A Massachusetts real estate developer with more than 20 years of experience, Andrew Rockett runs Rockett Real Estate Investments, LLC, focusing on properties in the southeastern portion of the state. In philanthropic matters, Andrew Rockett supports the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
Since 1903, the New Bedford Whaling Museum has contributed to the Old Dartmouth Historical Society's goal to educate others about the past. This society focuses on maritime activities, particularly on how humans have connected with whales throughout the years. Along with studying artifacts about whaling, it maintains a museum and library so that the public can appreciate these pieces of history. Among the most prized elements of its collection are the world's largest ship model and whale skeletons representing four species.
In May 2014, the New Bedford Whaling Museum celebrated the groundbreaking on the Wattles Jacobs Education Center. This $6.5 million privately funded construction is considered the entity's most ambitious project since the building of the Bourne Building nearly a century ago. Expected to be completed in summer 2015, this 17,000-square-foot structure will further the group's mission of knowledge collection and dissemination. It will feature classrooms, a reading room, a laboratory, and a climate-controlled storage vault.
