Where: Connecticut · approx. 41.35, -71.97 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mystic River tidal estuary at Long Island Sound
What turns up: Shipyard and wharf fill along both banks plus privies behind the 1880s village; expect clipper-era sodas, ale, gin and medicine bottles and stoneware.
Access: Gray area.
The tidal Mystic River bed and shore below ordinary high water is Connecticut public-trust land where removing relics is restricted; the shipyard lots and village parcels are private and need permission; state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked graves.
