Priscilla, Museum ship in Hudson River, New York, United States
The Priscilla, a wooden sloop vessel measuring 56 feet in length, remains anchored at the Long Island Maritime Museum for educational purposes.
Built in 1888 by Gil Smith in Patchogue, New York, the Priscilla served as an oyster harvesting vessel in Great South Bay until 1963.
The Priscilla represents the maritime traditions of Long Island, demonstrating the methods and equipment used in nineteenth-century oyster fishing practices.
Visitors can explore the vessel during museum hours from Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours explaining the sloop's construction and operation methods.
The Priscilla maintains its original wooden construction and sailing mechanisms, making it the oldest surviving oyster sloop in the United States.
