The Unitarian Church in Westport, nicknamed the New Ship Church, is a church building in Westport, Connecticut designed by modernist architect Victor A. Lundy and completed in 1965. It won an award from Architect magazine.[1] It has been compared to E. Fay Jones' Thorncrown Chapel (1980) and to the wooden tent Lundy designed for the interior of his Unitarian Meeting House (1964) in Hartford, Connecticut.[1] The nickname New Ship Church is a reference to the Old Ship Church built in 1681 in Hingham, Massachusetts.[2] The congregation was founded in 1949 as "The First Unitarian Fellowship of Fairfield County."
