Walking around the harbor village of Greenport, LI NY... couple of weeks ago.
The area was first settled by an adventurous group from England led by Barnabus Horton in 1640.
The deep water harbor was first called Winter Harbor and later Stirling, named after George Washington’s General, Lord Sterling.
The harbor wharf was busy with ships bound for South America and the Caribbean during the Revolutionary War era.
Later the named changed to Greenhill and finally renamed Greenport when the village was incorporated as part of Southold Town in 1838.
Town wharf where boats have to make reservations in advance to tie=up during busy summer season.
Car and truck ferry to Shelter Island coming into port.
Ocean going fishing boats.
Shelter Island in background.
Inside Preston"s Marine Supplies, that goes back to 1880.
They are many restaurants right on the water in this quaint town..
Some old houses around the town...
Lovely old houses. Would love to see inside old restaurants. This town seemed to freeze in time!
