BOAT BUILDING AND BOAT YARDS OF LONG ISLAND

Solomon, the executive director of Long Island Traditions, has written a new book “Boat Builders and Boat Yards of Long Island: A Tribute to Tradition”. In this book Solomon documents the traditions and places of Long Island’s boat building industry from a contemporary perspective. During this illustrated program, Solomon will focus on the boat builders and boat yards of Oyster Bay, Huntington, Greenport, Amityville and other Long Island communities. She will share the stories she collected from traditional boat builders and boat yard managers in the region during the late 1990s to the present day. The book includes builders and boatyards from Long Island’s north shore, south shore and east end. Highlights include the Ida May Project, the Knutson Boat Yard, the Scopinich family, the Weeks Yacht Yard, the Steiger Craft boat shop among others. The book contains personal narratives along with historical and contemporary photographs.
