Imagine sitting on the banks of Thames River and watching a whole city go down in flames. Your stomach turns into a giant ball of knots; your palms begin to clam. Your heart races with anticipation and your body begins to tremble with fright. You know full well that within minutes you will be next. This is what the American Patriots were feeling the morning of September 6 1781 before the Battle at Fort Griswold - a battle that would go down in history as being the bloodiest of the American Revolution. About 150 Patriots lined the walls of the Fort to take on 800 British that were working their way across the river. Three horrid attacks took place within a 40-minute time span resulting in 88 American deaths and another 35 American men wounded. Worst of all the charge was led by the infamous traitor Benedict Arnold. In 1830 locals built a 135-foot-tall stone monument to honor the defenders at Fort Griswold. The plaque above the doorway reads . . . in memory of the brave patriots who fell in the massacre at Fort Griswold . . . When the British under the command of THE TRAITOR BENEDICT ARNOLD burnt the towns of New London and Groton and spread desolation and woe throughout this region. In 1868 area residents with the help of the State of Connecticut purchased 112 acres on the Thames River and presented the site to the Federal Government for use as a Navy yard. During World War I the Navy yard was officially commissioned a submarine base. Fittingly Groton is known as The Submarine Capitol of the World. It is home of the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics a firm responsible for the construction of 74 diesel submarines to the Navy during World War II. In 1954 the company launched the worlds first nuclear-powered submarine the USS Nautilus currently displayed at the Historic Ship Nautilus/Submarine Museum. Groton is also home to the National Submarine Wall of Honor. This monument is in memory to the 52 submarines that didnt come home from WWII.
