Title A name given to the resource Fort Trumbull Description An account of the resource New London’s geography as a deep-water harbor has shaped its maritime commercial and military history. Already in the late 18th century, the city was an important port of entry, and a defense fort was built on Mamacock. In the fervor and chaos of the American Revolution, New London was a major target for the British as a gateway city and privateering hub known for its wealth and patriotism. The small defense site on the Thames River was deemed inadequate protection against possible British invasion. By 1777, the renovated and expanded fortifications were renamed Fort Trumbull. The site was turned into a Connecticut State park in 2002. The historic structure and museum features reconstructions of the fort’s 19th century living quarters and a 1950s research laboratory.

Title A name given to the resource Muddy Waters Cafe Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eva Brydson Description An account of the resource Commerce, Olga Nikolaeva The Whaling Bank (1833) was founded by several New London whalers. In 1864, the bank was recognized nationally and became the National Whaling Bank. Following the decline of the whaling industry in New London, the bank closed and the building was sold and became the Thames Crockery, a restaurant supply business. Shortly after, a cafe called Mugz took over the building. After changing hands once again, Muddy Waters, another cafe, took over the structure and still operates there today. The site references two eras of New London’s history and present: the presence and influence of the whaling industry and the modern site of community gathering and commerce.

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”.
