Journey back in time with Richard Webb to explore the darker side of life for the sailors, captains, and residents of Southport’s once thriving commercial harbor. Drawing on rare documents from this period, we’ll discover how depression, opioid addiction, and more impacted the daily lives and industry of this Connecticut coastal community.
