My great grandfather built the sub and then my grandpa helped decommission it so it could become a museum

Litchfield County is so beautiful - I was born and raised in CT, in Bristol. Never knew about this old railroad tunnel.

Women weren’t allowed on submarines till a few years ago.

2:57 that would’ve been my claustrophobia stop point

My grandfather retired as Chief of Nuclear Design at EB where the subs are built, a mile away!

Fantastic hike just did it today. That uphill was killer lol !

Kids; always remember to check for ticks when you go in the woods

I absolutely love to see kiddos outside playing and exploring the woods! Growing up in Ct enjoying Gods blessings

Worked at EB for 10+ years and never went to this museum. Dumb decision by me.

It’s a tree stump from before the flood.

Many fond memories of the lake . Thank you.

I can see how he survived why back in there with a fire going. Id imagine some of the locals may have given him a heavy wool blanket or two. Shame he had to live like that but he definitely had freedom.

That old bridge just caught fire lol it happens all the time. Crooked town for years i fished Pleasure beach every day as a kid

I was there as a child in the 1950’s and rode all the rides and actually swam over to it with a buddy in the 1960’s I think, from Ten Cent Point in Stratford at low tide. We were looking for a job. The roller coaster was a legend, shaking and creaking and fast and the carousel was a work of art and even had the brass ring you reached for. If you got it you got a free ride. The bumper cars were great too..I think the town of Stratford owned part of the island and that’s why cottages were there on the end part of the island. After the bridge burned the politicians in Bridgeport wanted this place to die and never would rebuild the bridge. They sure got their way. Too bad because it was a great place. I think the horses from the carousel have been preserved at Beardsley Park in Bridgeport. Sadly Bridgeport was once a powerhouse of industrial manufacturing and the tool and die industry. This is where Bridgeport Machine was along with Remington, Carpenter Steel, Bryant Electric, Warner Manufacturing, Harvey Hubble, Singer Sewing Machine, Metropolitan Body that made the METRO delivery trucks, GE Wire and Cable, International Bakeries that made Wonder Bread, Acme Shear, and many many others. Remington even had a special place where they blended gunpowder for the Czar of Russia. Think it was over on Stratford Road as gun manufacturing was further downtown. Even the old Locomobile automobile was produced here from 1900 to 1929. Politics, and resistance to change and adaptation hurt Bridgeport badly along with cheaper foreign production. It’s history is truly amazing though if you care to study it. Even P.T. Barnum was once the Mayor here and there is still a museum by his name. The city survives today but only a shadow of it great past. Two beautiful movie theatres were there also, the Lowes Poli and the Lowes Majestic. Don’t know if they are still standing but their interior architecture was absolutely beautiful. Some of her past structures are still there if you care to look for them.

As a youth my buddy and I searched for a Leatherman cave in North Salem NY, one of his stops. We lived our summers on Lake Waccabuc in South Salem. There were no paths just locals telling us, “somewhere in those woods” but it was too thick and we did not find it. The locals showed us where to start in but we never found it. Still yet to be discovered by non-iPhone and gizmo addicted youth! Are there any of us left? Good hike video!

BOomer submarine, typhoon attack submarine, sonar pulse dolphins, but dont tell on the dolphins.

WWII new Silent Service Submarine On personnel computer. Do nated to have lunch about pink and purple.

Submarine ship museums September 6 2023.

I remember when Richard marchinko raided the Groton sub base back in the 80s when master chief Dunn was there , us kids where hanging out by the water when a couple navy seals popped up out of the water and scared the living crap out of us… thats my memory of Groton sub base

i been on that submarine on a camping trip in 2015 and on a school feild trip

Suggestion: can you do a video on Dark Places to go shoot the stars in Connecticut. The light pollution is out of control in my city and my now my from nonsense neighbors are shining lights right on my telescope.

Miss my home

The rock formation you call the Leatherman Cave is incorrect. The correct name is the Rock House. Until the 16th edition of the CFPA Connecticut Walk Books (1990) it was called it this. For unknown reasons, the name was changed to Leatherman Cave In the 17th edition (1993). The true Leatherman Cave is on a feeder trail near Route 6 at GPS 41.64113, -73.09253. There is a new sign next to it. Please check it out.

My hometown ❤️💪🏾

Miss doing that with my parents out there in the 90’s

Thanks for the positive comments about West Rock Ridge State Park. I have been maintaining the trails there as a volunteer since 2007. This is my link to the website I created for the park, which has detailed information on the park, its trails and other features. westrocktrails.blogspot.com

Soooo very peaceful 😊. What a glorious sunny day..😊

I have been fishing here many times, and me seeing the incredible New Haven skyline from here was amazing too!

Hey thanks for the update this is very interesting I just moved to Connecticut

Your kids are awesome. I don’t know too many kids that could do this trail and enjoy it

Thanks 🙏 for sharing

My Mom and I got to visit the seaport back in 1994. It was an interesting place to visit.

I was born at the Navy Submarine Base Hospital as my Dad was a submarine sailor. My Mom and I went back to Groton to visit family in 1994 and we toured the museum and the U.S.S. Nautilus. Seeing Connecticut in October was beautiful with all the Fall colors.

Nice video, love the views at West Rock.

I went to sub school in 1978

Does this place allow dogs?

I remember attending a Bobby Rydell concert in that pavilion on PB. Had to be in the late 50's. The park was a fun place to be and the roller coaster was wonderful.

Bring bug spray!

I loved growing up here but for some reason I never went to this park!

Lol, I used to work in Electric boat from 2009 to 2015. I did not know until now there is a submarine museum in that neighborhood.

Thank you for making this. I've been so curious as to what it looked like on the inside. Now I know.

I was on the George Washington 598. The first Polaris sub.

Good video. Went to Sub School late 1970, served aboard USS George C Marshall SSBN 654. Being from the Pacific Northwest, Spokane, I enjoyed The New England area back then.

I grew up less than a mile from this beach. That horrendous bridge is why I’m afraid of bridges to this day! smh lol That said, once I was across it I loved fishing with my parents and searching for shells and hermit crabs with my grandfather. I’m from the East End, but I haven’t lived in CT in many years. Thanks for helping me to relive some really great childhood memories. ✌🏾

Thanks ....I always remember this place

Always love hiking at the Giant.

Looks like vid tour cut short looks like unhappy?! 😩🤔🇬🇧

I was a submariner and to school here in New London/Groton in 1998.. very cool little base
