Stonington Harbor lies on the north side of the eastern entrance from the ocean into Long Island Sound, and the main object of the improvement is to famish a harbor of ref...uge for vessels entering and leaving this entrance to the sound. The mean rise and fall of the tide is about 2f feet. ORIGINAL CONDITION. Originally it was an open bay, unprotected from sputherly storms, and obstructed by a shoal, having a low water depth of but 6 feet at the shoalest part. This shoal nearly filled the inner harbor, and left but a narrow channel on either side of a depth insufOicieut to permit vessels of 12 feet draft to reach the upi)er wharves at low water. Between 1827 and 1831, about $37,000 was spent in constructing piers or small breakwaters in the inner harbor for the protection of the harborage.
