Waterfront Ct

Oyster Bay is said to have several of the healthiest waters in the Long Island Sound; they are classified SA - signifying the highest and finest water quality. Home of the famous Pine Island oysters, farmed since l887 by Frank M. Flower and Sons, our waters produce up to 90 percent of the oysters and up to 40 percent of the hard clams harvested in all of New York State. This area of the waterfront used to be the site of Jakobson's Shipyard, which during World War II employed over 600 workers, building minesweepers, tugboats and mini-submarines for the U. S. Navy.
