We at Capt. Scotts would like to commend the New London Police Department and especially the New London Fire Department for their fine response to a boat fire at our dock on July 18. The fine work of all who responded and their professionalism in response was very impressive.

We would like to recognize all of our customers whom, under circumstances beyond our control, may have been unable to leave or enter Capt. Scotts during this unfortunate event. We appreciate your patience and are grateful to the responders, including Coast Guard personnel, who happened to be enjoying lunch and quickly helped.

The response by all makes us happy about being in New London and being surrounded by such professionals.
