About New London, Connecticut
New London is a seaport city of 27,367 people in New London County, where the Thames River empties into Long Island Sound. The Pequot knew the place as Nameaug, and John Winthrop Jr. started an English settlement there in 1646. In the 1650s the settlers asked for the name London, while the General Assembly preferred Faire Harbour. The settlers answered that they would sooner stay Nameaug, the Assembly backed down, and on March 24, 1658, the town became New London.
Its deep harbor made New London a home port for American privateers in the Revolution, and the British struck back. On September 6, 1781, troops led by Benedict Arnold, a native of nearby Norwich, landed on both shores of the harbor and burned much of the town. New Londoners rebuilt, and in 1784 the state made it one of Connecticut's first five cities. Through the early 1800s it ranked with Nantucket and New Bedford as one of the world's three busiest whaling ports.
“A ship of five hundred tunns may go up to the Town, and come so near shoar that they may toss a biskitt on shoar.”
- Saved by a cask of vinegarDuring Arnold's 1781 raid, the fire reached Nathaniel Shaw's granite house on Blinman Street, which had served as the state's naval office. Its wooden annex was lost, and then the roof of the stone house began to burn. A neighbor climbed to the garret, where a cask of vinegar stood; the neighbor smashed it and spread it on the roof until the flames went out. That spared the Shaw Mansion and the houses below it.
- Nine hundred whalemenWilliams's brig Mary returned the next June, ten months and twenty days after it left, holding 78 barrels of sperm oil and 744 of whale oil. By 1834 more than thirty ships sailed from the port, and 900 men and boys worked in the whale and seal fishery.
- Whale Oil RowWhaling owners grew rich enough to build in style on Huntington Street. Between 1835 and 1845 they put up the four temple-front houses known as Whale Oil Row.
- A lighthouse paid for by lotteryIn 1760 a lottery raised the money for a light at the harbor mouth, the first lighthouse on the Connecticut coast. A stone tower replaced it in 1801, and at 90 feet, no lighthouse in Connecticut or on Long Island Sound is older or taller. The harbor proved its worth in January 1835, when ice closed New York's harbor and New London's stayed open.
- A mill from 1650The Winthrop Mill, also called the Old Town Mill, has stood on Briggs Brook since 1650 and ground grain for the settlers. Tradition credits John Winthrop Jr. and William Comstock with building it. Arnold's men set it on fire in 1781. Its raised flume, wheel pit and tail race may still be close to the originals, and the mill joined the National Register in 1982.
