The Thames River serves as the central artery for this maritime and industrial landscape, separating the busy hubs of New London and Groton. At the end of the nineteenth century, the region was defined by its deep-water access and military significance, evidenced by the US Naval Station and the fortifications at Ft Trumbull. The coastline is a complex of points and coves, from Millstone Point to the summer residential character emerging at Groton Long Point.
