The maritime heritage of the East End of Long Island, New York, is an integral part of the city, and therefore the East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation in Greenport has made it its mission to preserve and restore this very heritage. At our summer sessions we show maritime films, arrange marine-based lectures and celebrate our maritime culture. We have a resident blacksmith who gives demonstrations of iron working, and children get the opportunity of having a hands-on experience. The East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation is proud to own and operate the historic Long Beach Bar (Bug) Lighthouse. Displays inside the lighthouse include displays on the Greenport menhaden fishing industry, the oyster industry, lighthouse lenses, as well as a model ship of the USS Ohio. A visit to the East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation and the Long Beach Bar Lighthouse is well worth a visit.READ MORE
