Maritime History

Connecticut's coastline preserves centuries of naval evolution and seafaring tradition. This collection highlights the state's maritime milestones, from the 1841 Charles W. Morgan—the world's last wooden whaling ship—to the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine. Explore navigational landmarks like the 19th-century Five Mile Point Light and the distinctively Second Empire-style New London Ledge Light. The list also features the Emma C. Berry fishing sloop at Mystic Seaport and the Revolutionary War-era Fort Griswold, which once guarded the strategic Thames River harbor.
