Port Jefferson, Maritime village in Suffolk County, US
The North Shore community stretches along a natural harbor with residential areas rising on surrounding hills and a downtown near the water.
The settlement transformed from Drowned Meadow into Port Jefferson in 1836, becoming Suffolk County's primary shipbuilding center during the 19th century.
The Theatre Three company performs multiple productions throughout the year in a former ship chandlery building dating from the 1800s.
The Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Ferry provides regular transportation across Long Island Sound to Connecticut, connecting with the Long Island Rail Road terminus.
Local shipyards constructed over 500 vessels from 1797 to 1923, including schooners, sloops, and steamships for maritime commerce.
