Christeen, Museum ship and National Historic Landmark in Oyster Bay, United States
The 60-foot Christeen features wooden construction, gaff rigging, and 960 square feet of sail area for maritime educational experiences in Long Island Sound.
Built in 1883 in Glenwood Landing, New York, for Captain William Smith, this vessel transported oysters from Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbor during the late 19th century.
The WaterFront Center uses this vessel as a floating classroom, teaching students about marine science, coastal ecology, and traditional oyster harvesting methods.
The vessel accommodates 24 passengers for private charters and public sails, with prices starting at 1400 dollars for a two-and-a-half-hour cruise.
Christeen stands as the oldest oyster sloop in the United States, having endured 16 major hurricanes throughout its 138-year existence.
