Title is New London (Connecticut)(Images of America)
Written by Ruddy, John L.

Guilford, CT: Globe Pequot, 1998
Spine is tight; pgs are unmarked. Nice, sturdy copy. Home to whaling ships,
privateers, and submarines, New London has been at the heart of some of
America"s most exciting seafaring history. This volume spans 65 years of
life in New London: from the 1850s, when the Whaling City earned its
reputation, to the days before World War I, when the last whaler had
departed and the first submarine was about to arrive.

Through these pages, you will walk the city"s unpaved streets to forgotten places like
Bacon"s Hotel and the Old Yellow Building, ride the trolley up State
Street, and see Ocean Beach as it was before the 1938 hurricane swept it
away. New London also gives special attention to the fashionable Pequot
Colony, the trains and steamboats that traveled to and from the city, and
familiar landmarks such as Union Station, the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse.(CONNECTICUT HISTORY PHOTOGRAPHS, ARCHIVES, INDUSTRY, TOWNS)
