The Westbrook tee, for the town that is where the submarine was born. A classic unisex heavy cotton t-shirt with the Westbrook vintage retro logo on the chest in white: the default Westbrook shirt, and the one most people start with.

This is the everyday Westbrook shirt: medium-weight cotton that holds up to real washing, a crewneck that fits everyone, and a logo that reads as a crest rather than a billboard. Buy it for yourself, buy a second for the person who keeps saying they want one, and it ships free in the U.S.

Unisex heavy cotton t-shirt made from medium-weight jersey for everyday comfort. Classic fit with a crewneck, tubular construction, and taped shoulders for durability; DTG-printed design. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while select heather/antique shades may use cotton–poly blends.

Settled around 1648 as the Oyster River Quarter of Saybrook, Westbrook became a parish in 1724, took its name in 1810 and incorporated in 1840. In 1775 a farmer’s son from this town, David Bushnell, built the Turtle while at Yale, the first submarine ever used in combat, in New York Harbor in 1776; the Navy still credits him as a father of submarine warfare.

White oak and chestnut from the hills fed a century of shipbuilding, the Salt Island menhaden works ran through the 1800s, and the summer resort era began in the 1870s. Four miles of beaches, the Pochaug and Menunketesuck salt marshes and Duck Island face the Sound. The mark on this piece is the Turtle’s hometown.

Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days.

More From Westbrook Connecticut

All Westbrook Connecticut Items

For a century Westbrook lived by the water — shipyards built from the white oak and chestnut of the local forests, oyster beds in the tidal rivers, and a menhaden fish-oil works out on Salt Island off Middle Beach. The Pochaug and Patchogue rivers share a single mouth here, spreading into broad salt marshes, with Duck Island and its breakwater offshore. By the 1870s the same shoreline had become a summer resort, its cottages filling each season with visitors drawn to the Sound.

Our Westbrook logo carries Connecticut's oyster shell over "Connecticut · Est. 1636," tying the town to the colonial founding of Connecticut — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Connecticut place. Printed black-and-white with the worn look of an old oyster-crate label, the shell reads as the shoreline in shorthand: tidal, maritime, salt-aired. What makes this one Westbrook is the story behind it — the Oyster River, the Sound, and the birthplace of the submarine.

Why People Visit Westbrook

Westbrook offers quiet shoreline New England with a remarkable story beneath it. Visitors come for the beaches, the marsh and harbor, the historic town center, and the distinction of standing in the birthplace of the submarine. It's low-key, scenic, and steeped in Long Island Sound maritime heritage.
