Marblehead
Historic Massachusetts seaport
Marblehead is a town on the coast of Massachusetts, historically significant as a fishing port and birthplace of the American Navy.
The name also appears in compounds and references to the distinctive rocky headland that gives the town its name.
We spent the summer in Marblehead.
Informally, marblehead can describe someone perceived as dense or hardheaded—having a head like marble.
