The New London Maritime Society was formed in 1983 to preserve the city’s historic custom house by turning it into a museum of New London’s maritime history. In addition to permanent and short-term exhibits, the society sponsors a variety of programs designed to inform about the maritime significance of New London, neighboring coastal towns, and Long Island Sound.
