The Sound School Regional Aquaculture Center located at City Point, on New Haven Harbor Connecticut, has proven to be an ideal home for sea chanteys. The introduction of sea music to the school started during a week-long sailing trip in Maine several years ago. This sparked the formation of a Maritime Culture class the following year. Song filled the air around campus, and the magic of this language became contagious. The S.S. Chanteens formed in 2002, with many of its members coming from the rowing and sailing teams. Paula Daddio, previously of the trio Shipping News acts as the group's advisor. Although the members of the group change every few years, they all have an incredible love of the water and a passion for chanteys and other traditional music. They perform with the expected enthusiasm of a bunch of teenagers. FREE for NLMS members, $8 all others.

The Custom House is a drop-off site for donations to the New London Community Meal Center. Canned goods may be left in the box in our front lobby between 1 and 5 PM.
