Today Groton is known the world over for its submarines, and at home for its monument, its harbor, and its shoreline parks. Its story blends Pequot beginnings, colonial shipbuilding, Revolutionary sacrifice, and the nuclear age that began on its waterfront. Our Groton designs gather that identity into wearable form — the Submarine Capital, the Thames, the Connecticut coast. Explore the collection and carry a little of Groton's depths with you.
Today the deep harbor that drew the shipwrights and the Navy still defines Groton. The Submarine Force Museum berths the Nautilus on the Thames; Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park keeps the monument and the memory; and the coast opens out at Bluff Point, Eastern Point Beach, and Avery Point, where the last lighthouse built in Connecticut still stands above Long Island Sound. Groton is Connecticut's hard-edged maritime soul — monuments, harbors, and the deep water that made all of it possible.
Why People Visit Groton Connecticut
Groton draws people who love the sea and the stories that come with it. It is the Submarine Capital of the World, with the first nuclear submarine open to walk through; it is a Revolutionary battlefield with a monument to its fallen; and it is a working shoreline of deep harbor, forts, beaches, and lighthouse points. Visitors come for the rare combination — naval history you can stand inside, colonial history you can climb, and a Connecticut coast you can walk all in one town on the Thames.
