Emma C. Berry is a fishing sloop located at Mystic Seaport in Mystic, Connecticut, United States, and one of the oldest surviving commercial vessels in America.

This type of boat is also termed a sloop smack or Noank smack. The Berry was built in 1866 at the Palmer Shipyards in Noank, Connecticut by James A. Latham. Smacks were designed to keep the catch alive in an internal water-filled compartment known as a wet well. Seawater circulated through large holes in the bottom planking. The Noank design was imitated in other regions.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/94001649.pdf National Historic Landmark Nomination: Emma C.
