Tour Peconic Bay Harbor in Glory … Greenport’s own, fume-free, virtually silent, environmentally-friendly, solar-powered, electric Fantail launch named Glory, that is!
Glory is a 1990 reproduction of a 30 foot Fantail launch, a style of craft popularized during the late 1800’s as advances in steam, gasoline, naptha, and electric-power allowed for the creation of small power boats. Originally built by the ELCO company, Fantail launches were quite popular with both the public and luminaries of the time like J.P. Morgan, and the Tsar of Russia.
The second annual Taste North Fork event – scheduled for Veteran’s Day Weekend, Saturday & Sunday, November 8th & 9th, 2014 – is going to be bigger than ever with over 40 participating wineries, restaurants, and more!
Last year’s Taste North Fork celebration was such a success that it continues this year, showcasing the very best that the North Fork has to offer with food and wine events, classes and demonstrations, and activities surrounding the rich and beautiful North Fork culture and traditions.
