Brewer
Dauntless Shipyard was named after one of the late-1800s America's
Cup yachts, the schooner Dauntless. Essex (one of the "Best Small
Towns in America") is tucked into the west bank of the Connecticut
River five miles from Long Island Sound. The Connecticut River provides
a number of coves and inlets, such as Hamburg Cove and Selden's Creek
to explore by boat
Essex, a quiet 300 year old village, hosts a selection of boutiques,
specialty shops, a waterfront park overlooking the Connecticut River,
and historic restaurants. One of the oldest settlements in Connecticut,
Essex got its shipbuilding start in 1720, producing schooners for
the West Indies trade. By the early 1800s, Essex had become a major
shipbuilding center. It's historic Steamboat Dock, now the Connecticut
River Museum, a National Register site, provides exhibits about the
marine heritage of the Connecticut River and the lower river valley.
Whether utilizing Brewer Dauntless  Shipyard
for its superior service or using the Shipyard as your homeport; your
boat will receive the best care, while you and your family will enjoy
one of the 'best' towns in America. |
