1810 Thomas S. Greenman 1887 Master shipbuilders. Sons of Silas Greenman, shipbuilder, of Westerly, R.I. They established their first yard at the head of the Mystic River in 1827. In 1838 they removed to this point where they continued operations until 1879. During the intervening 52 years they built 94 ships and steamers. Three times in succession they launched from this site the largest vessel theretofore constructed in Connecticut, achieving through the years a reputation unsurpassed in national shipping circles for honest workmanship and superior design.
This tablet was placed to mark the spot where they laid the massive keels of the David Crockett and other noted clipper and packet ships by the Marine Historical Association, Incorporated.
