The Noank hoodie, for the town that built more wooden ships than anywhere in America. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Noank vintage retro logo across the chest in white, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Noank piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Noank, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

A medium-heavy fleece pullover hoodie built for warmth that lasts. The regular, true-to-size adult fit comes with a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, and double-needle stitching where it counts, plus a tear-away label. 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester; heather shades may be cotton–poly blends.

The Pequot summered on this steep little peninsula as Nauyang; the English acquired it by lottery in 1712, and the village grew from the 1840s on fishing and shipbuilding. The Palmer Brothers yard, founded about 1850, became the largest builder of wooden ships in the United States, launching hundreds of vessels from fishing smacks to Sound steamers.

The 1866 Emma C. Berry, a Noank smack built at the Palmer yard, is a National Historic Landmark at Mystic Seaport. The 1867 Baptist church crowns the hill, shipyard-worker cottages crowd the lanes, the Memorial Day parade has run since 1876, and the lobster shacks still steam at the end of the point. The mark on this piece is that working harbor.

More From Noank Connecticut

All Noank Connecticut Items

Everything changed around 1850, when the Palmer brothers, John and Robert, established their shipyard and Noank found its calling. The yard built the famous 'Noank smack' — a fast, able fishing sloop native to the village — and one of them, the Emma C. Berry of 1866, survives today as a National Historic Landmark, the oldest commercial sailing vessel of her kind still afloat. The C. H. Mallory and Spicer steamship interests added to the bustle from 1861. For a few decades a tiny Connecticut point was a genuine center of American shipbuilding.

Our Noank logo carries the Connecticut shoreline's oyster above 'Est. 1636,' the year of Connecticut's colonial founding — the shared retro emblem of every Merlin Classics Connecticut place. Drawn in a worn black-and-white that recalls an old oyster-crate label, the oyster is the shoreline in shorthand: briny, working, and unpretentious. The oyster is the through-line that links Noank to every other Connecticut place we make. What makes this one Noank is everything around it — the Palmer yard and the smack, the harbor and the lobster shacks, the cottages and the steeple on the point.

Why People Visit Noank

Noank rewards visitors who like their shoreline quiet and real — a working harbor instead of a boardwalk, a dense historic village instead of a strip. People come for the boatyards and the lobster shacks at the water's edge, for the walk through the cottage-lined historic district, and for the view out to the Sound from the end of the point. It is peaceful, photogenic, and unmistakably a Connecticut fishing village.
