Among the cities of Connecticut, New London stands out for its deep-water harbor on the Thames River, where the river meets Long Island Sound. This southeastern Connecticut port developed around maritime trade and later became closely associated with the U.S. Coast Guard: the United States Coast Guard Academy has been based here since 1932. Downtown’s waterfront includes the Custom House Maritime Museum in a 19th-century federal custom house, while ferries connect the city with Long Island’s North Fork. New London’s compact center also supports performing arts at the Garde Arts Center.
