History

On the second Saturday of each May since 1964, the [http://www.sailingmasters.org "Sailing Masters of 1812"] of Essex commemorate the "Burning of the Ships" with an ancient fife and drum corps parade down Main Street and ceremony at the steamboat dock, wearing the Uniforms of the United States Navy States naval uniform of that period; by tradition, this event is unpublicized. The [http://www.ctrivermuseum.org/ Connecticut River Museum], situated at the site where Coot landed, now hosts an exhibit portraying the raid, featuring a large diorama by Russell Joseph Buckingham, a musket ball believed to have been fired then and a plank from the ship "Osage", burned by the British. Perhaps as a consequence of the practical, but somewhat less than heroic, response of the town to the raid, shortly afterwards the name of the town was changed to Essex. The population was 6,505 at the 2000 United States Census census. .
