Collins Cove was named for Francis Collins, a carpenter. He was here in 1652, and perhaps as early as 1637. He lived on the southerly side of Essex Street, and a hundred feet easterly of English Street. Prior to this, the cove was known as Shallop Cove, after the shallop, a small open boat.
In 2020, a new Salem Harbor Walk Connector was opened in the Collins Cove area, stretching towards the Power Plant on Derby Street. The Public Art Commission of the city has spearheaded the installation
of seven sculptures to enhance the area. The new sculptures will be on display through Nov. 30, 2021.
