Things to do in New London

New London sits at the mouth of the Thames River, a deepwater port with a long maritime history that once made it one of the world’s busiest whaling ports. Today it is home to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Connecticut College, and across the river in Groton, General Dynamics Electric Boat builds submarines for the U.S. Navy beside the Naval Submarine Base New London. Ferries to Long Island, Block Island and Fishers Island leave from the downtown waterfront.
