Although about 14 miles inland, Norwich lies at the head of the Thames River. The river is both broad and deep, and therefore was not bridged in the early 20th century. From the 17th century till then, if you wished to get from Groton on the west bank to the whaling port of New London on the east bank by land, you needed to needed to go by way of Norwich. Since of its size, the Thames is accessible all the method from Norwich to New London. Docks were developed in Norwich around 1685 and the city became Connecticut's second largest port by 1800. With the building of the Norwich & & Worcester Railroad in 1835, Page might quickly ship his wood type north by rail or south by seaside schooner. Consisted of with our font style, Gothic Tuscan One, are 2 19th century printer's accessories of sailing ships similar to those that cruised up the Thames to Norwich. There is also a more contemporary glyph of a whale, looking quite pleased that the only whaling ship left in Connecticut is the Charles W. Morgan, completely moored at Mystic Seaport.
