This makes a total, so far as stated, of 179 vessels, including 91 sloops, 

 2 sloop yachts, 4 sloop lighters, i sloop smack, 58 schooners, 2 schooner 

 yachts, i schooner pilot boat, 3 schooner smacks, 3 brigs, 3 barks, 8 

 steamers. Reducing tonnage capacity where so given to average of regis- 

 ter, there are of recorded tonnage built at Northport about 16, 500 tons, and 

 allowing fair averages for the vessels whose tonnage is not given, the ag- 

 gregate will be close upon 18,500 tons of shipping built at that port. 



Centreport. 

 Eligibly situated at the head of Centreport Harbor, an offshoot from 

 Northport Bay, this small but thriving village early engaged in the business 

 of shipbuilding and car ied it on to a moderate extent, but in recent years 

 little or none has been done there. Mr. Parrotte has kindly sent me the 

 subjoining list of vessels built at Centreport between 1814 and 1884, but 

 did not give names of builders or dates of launching :

East Setauket. 



Occupying a favorable location at the head of Setauket Harbor, which 

 connects with Port Jefferson Bay, residents of this place engaged m ship- 

 building on a small scale early in the present century, but I have not been 

 able to get any data anterior to 1836, in which year BossNehemiah Hand, 

 still a hale and vigorous man, widely known for the active and prominent 

 part he has taken in commercial affairs and especially as a representative of 

 the American Ship Owners and Masters' Association, began a long and highly 

 successful career. In 1864 he associated with himself his son George S. 

 Hand, and, after adding half a dozen fine boats to his fleet, in 1873 he re- 

 tired leaving his business to be prosecuted by his son. During this long 

 period of almost forty years he built many large, handsome, swift and 

 staunch vessels, that were a credit to himself and an honor to the county ; 

 some of them are still in active service and able to hold their own in comparison 

 with later built craft, whether for speed or seaworthiness. He and his son 

 own two sets of marine railways, which for twelve years past have been kept
