Brewer's Stratford Marina, Long Island Sound

Speranza

In 1800, New Lane in Stratford, Long Island Sound, bridged Ferry Creek and led to Daniel Curtis's shipyard, the ropewalk, and the upper wharf.

 

The yard, on Curtis Pond, had been busy building ships for centuries, including sloops, two-masted schooners, and steam oyster boats.

 

Today, the road is Broad Street and the yard is Brewer's Stratford Marina.
