Title A name given to the resource United States Coast Guard Academy Description An account of the resource Established in 1790, the Coast Guard is the first "seagoing" military force in the country. Its Academy was founded in 1910 at Fort Trumbull as cadets sailed the tall ship Itasca to this quiet seaside town. The City of New London donated the land for its current site to the US Government in 1932. Additionally, the Allyn and Payne estates of New London contributed funds to build facilities. The Academy offers nine different programs of study, ranging from Civil and Mechanical Engineering to Naval Architecture and Government. In 1966, the school admitted its first African American cadet, with the declaration of full racial integration. Ten years later, the Academy opened its doors to women, and in 1980, admitted the first international cadet. Although it is the smallest of all the military academies, with about 1000 cadets, its commitment to our national safety is second to none. The school’s motto, “the sea yields to knowledge,” is a fitting tribute to New London as a “city on the sea”.

Description An account of the resource IIn 1932, citizens of New London donated land to the US Treasury to move the Coast Guard Academy from its original location at Fort Trumbull to its present site. This postcard depicts cadets in a uniform procession, most likely, a “Regimental Review.” This event, one of the oldest traditions at the Academy, takes place about six times a year in order to teach cadets critical qualities: confidence, leadership, and poise.

Title A name given to the resource Captain Scott's Lobster Dock Description An account of the resource Information from Susan Tierney, co-owner: Captain Scott's Lobster Dock was started in 1996 in its current location. My brothers, Tom and Scott Eshenfelder were commercial fisherman looking for space to house a lobster holding facility. We entered into a Lease with the New London Redevelopment Agency in 1994, I included a picture of what the site looked like at that time ( I believe the city actually took this property through eminent domain from the ferry company in 1960s). T.A. Scott Fisheries was the first business to start here. A lobster holding facility where we bought lobsters from local fisherman and sold them to restaurants and grocery stores. We soon discovered that this would be a pretty unique location for an outdoor restaurant. Captain Scott's is named after our great great great Grandfather, T.A.Scott, who had a marine salvage business here in New London on Pequot Ave. back in the late 1800s.

Text Any textual data included in the document Georgia Camp at Savannah June 21st 1865 Dear Brother, I received your letter a few days since in reply to mine & was glad to hear of your continued good health. Your excuse for not writing sooner is a very good one. I notice you were very busy & had a good many "irons in the fire" than is right only Keep them all agoing, hammer tongs, & all the old adage of "too many irons in the fire" conveys an untruth. It seems you have taken to farming a little in connection with your shopwork. Well, I trust it a good thing for you [Page 2] aside from the farming profit it is not good to confine ourselves too much indoors but out- door exercise is highly beneficial to us. We are still here in camp. Just outside the city limits. Our camp is on a river spot& is inclined to the South, & West we have quite good water for cooking purposes & have free access to the river for bathing we have erected arbours in our Com. streets to shelter us from the burning rays of the South. Our fare is salt portk & beans & hardtack with a little coffee twice each day. We get few vegetables, which are beginning to be more plenty now if we have the money to buy them. [Page 3] As yet, we have none as the paymaster has not yet made his appearance among us but we hope to see him soon for we all would really like some funds. As yet it is a general time of health among us & we hope it will continue. Now & then we trade articles of clothing for vegetables or something for a change of eatables. I do not see as there is any argument on the part of the commissariat for any such neadment of soldiers. Certainly it is not so much depleted as to require any such stringen- cy & we are not far from base of supplies so that there is no reason for such a state of things but something is wrong [Page 4, blank] [Page 5] Continuance & we are lead to the opinion that somebody is making a "Pile" out of our rations. If I should live so at home I should think it miserable poor. If we have on an active campaign or we should expect such things but such is not the case. We are in camp or garrison & are entitled to good & wholesome food particularly in this hot climate. I am not one one of those who complains & heretofore have said nothing about our fare but now I think it time I speak a word -- Whether it does any good or not we shall no doubt have to remain in this vicinity all summer & I think we ought to get more vegetables. [Page 6] I notice the work of reconstru- ction is going on in all the different states & the people are adapting themselves to the new order of things. The Negroes are an indolent lot, as I always knew & have little or no faculty to set themselves to work to better their condition, but perhaps they will get to it after awhile. But enough about the Negro. I notice Father has another housekeeper & I trust he will mark such an arrangement as will insure her remaining with him for some time to come. I suppose his place is still encumbered with a mortgage, which he has not the ability to meet or to pay [Page 7] When I was at home, he wished me to take it, but I could not then see the propriety of my doing so. probably if it is ever to be paid one of us will have to pay it or it will pass most of the name of the family. I don’t know but I might help pay it. if the place opposite your or the Peckham place. I suppose it is, could be bought so that we could own all on both sides the road unmolested. This would give me a comfortable place with land enough such as it is. Then I should not wish to interfere with yours in any arrangement you may make, or might have made in relation [Page 8] to any, or all of the property here I speak of, but I speak of it as a thing or transaction which might transpire perhaps you might feel, of the parties who are interested, I see what might be done in the matter it would be very desireable to own all of the land on that corner. I don’t know as that place can be bought at all, it is only an idea which has occurred to me. Since I sit down to write if you please you can give me such information as you may or might possess upon inquiring but I must close & I trust then will find you all well much love to you all.

I tell you Brother this war is a big thing & blockade running is a big business. Some are driving fast [sic] hordes off the profits of such business. Even our Friend Reynolds has been accused perhaps wrongfully of helping to run the blockade over to the lake while there. Well that is the way. Some help to put down the rebellion & instead of doing their duty aid the enemy. But I will not enlarge on this point for truth is mighty & will prevail. Sometime or other. & perhaps such using is their reward. I am glad that you are all well & are prospering for we need all of us prosperity. I have no doubt Shall have it if we do our duty I am very glad to hear from you & always shall be & hope you will [Page 4] continue this corespondence [sic] so well begun.
