Emma C. Berry is a fishing sloop located at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut, and one of the oldest surviving commercial vessels in America. She is the last known American well smack. This type of boat is also termed a sloop smack or Noank smack. The Noank design was imitated in other regions of the United States.
Emma C. Berry was built in 1866 at the Palmer Shipyards in Noank, Connecticut, by James A. Latham. The boat was named for Captain John Henry Berry's daughter. She was rigged as a schooner in 1886, and a gasoline engine was added in 1916. She was restored in 1931 to her original condition. She was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1994.
