  • New London Connecticut (New London Ct. Downtown) Drive Thru 4K Travel Video Today we travel to the Connecticut shore and check New London Downtown. Filmed April 2021 Enjoy the ride
    New London is a seaport city and a port of entry on the northeast coast of the United States, located at the mouth of the Thames River in New London County, Connecticut. It was one of the world's three busiest whaling ports for several decades beginning in the early 19th century, along with Nantucket and New Bedford, Massachusetts. The wealth that whaling brought into the city furnished the capital to fund much of the city's present architecture. The city subsequently became home to other shipping and manufacturing industries, but it has gradually lost most of its industrial heart.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Lon...
    New London is home to the United States Coast Guard Academy, Connecticut College, Mitchell College, and The Williams School. The Coast Guard Station New London and New London Harbor is home port to the Coast Guard Cutter Chinook and the Coast Guard's tall ship Eagle. The city had a population of 27,620 at the 2010 census. The Norwich-New London metropolitan area includes 21 towns and 274,055 people.

    I always pass here on Amtrak, never knew this city was so much more than just a train stop between Boston and nyc. Quite an interesting place to be honest.

    As a new sailor attending sub school in the early 70s, a few of us lived together in the Mohican hotel. They put all us Navy guys on one floor so we wouldn't bother the other guests! Just a short drive over the bridge to the sub base in Groton. Later on in my career, I had my own apartment near Ocean Beach. Great times I wouldn't trade for anything! Fantastic views, great video.

    Growing up elsewhere in Connecticut it seemed like people rarely thought much about New London. It's a bit isolated from the state's main population centers, and given its location people wouldn't be likely to pass through it unless they were on one of the ubiquitous school field trips to Mystic Seaport or maybe visiting Newport. Today New London is way busier because of the two enormous Indian gambling casinos to its north.

      New London is interesting- beautiful old architecture, and an amazing history of being one of the world's most important whaling ports- but unfortunately the city has gone downhill in recent years.

    Very interesting video. Yes, it does seem like New London is off the beaten path (but less so nowadays), as pointed out in another comment; yet, the city looks like an okay place to grow up and then move on. And that's okay, considering most places are like that. Never realized NL was as built up as it is. Always thought it would be more like a hamlet. Would really like to see some of the affluent and working class neighborhoods. Thanks for taking us there!

I miss it down there it's beautiful. Thank you for a lovely video.

    My father was born in New London and I always tried to get him to go back and visit before he passed but I guess the past was too painful for him to revisit. I'm planning to go in 2023 so I need to find the best from California to get there. Maybe fly into New York and then catch Amtrak.
