East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation The East End Seaport Museum and Marine Foundation honors, preserves and celebrates the maritime history of the East End of Long Island

In Greenport, we operate the East End Seaport Museum on the waterfront with its maritime exhibits and collections. Our blacksmith conducts demonstrations of iron working with hands-on experiences for children at the Village Blacksmith Shop. Offshore - we own, operate, and maintain the historic Long Beach Bar (Bug) Lighthouse. Bug Light is the gateway to Greenport, Shelter Island, and Peconic Bay and we are proud to be the stewards of this working navigational structure.

Some ships don’t just visit a harbor, they become part of its story.

Our friends aboard the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation sailed into Greenport this morning and are preparing for another week of unforgettable voyages on the waters that have shaped generations of mariners.

Maritime Fun Fact: Greenport has been a working waterfront for centuries, where shipbuilders, whalers, fishermen, and merchant vessels all played a role in the East End’s rich maritime legacy. Seeing a traditional tall ship under sail is a reminder that this history isn’t just something we preserve, it’s something we can still experience.

We’re always proud to welcome the Kalmar Nyckel back to Greenport Harbor. If you’ve never stepped aboard a tall ship, this week is the perfect opportunity.

Fair winds, and we’ll see you at the dock!
