Special anchorage areas allow vessels less than 65 feet in length to safely anchor without requiring an anchor light or sound signal. In late 2019, Mohawk Northeast, Inc. purchased three acres of property providing direct access to the waterfront on the Thames River, which included E:\FR\FM\07AUP1.SGM 07AUP1
