• Bayles Boat Shop (NEW!)
  101A East Broadway

10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
During the American War for Independence, the Long Island Sound was the scene of many engagements involving armed whaleboats. Re-creating a 1776 whaleboat appropriately named the Caleb Brewster, the armed whaleboat is a replica for what served as the vessel of choice for the Culper Spy Ring courier and his crews. Light, fast, quiet and easy for men to pick up and hide, these roughly 25 to 30 foot crafts were fairly stealthy for their time. While these attributes benefitted Patriot spies, they also assisted Privateers; basically pirates with government commissions.
