Unless you have a )ot of time, you'd do better to charter at Greenport, if your base is farther away. Gardiners Bay, Shelter Island Sound and vicinity have a delightful combination of aunkholes, excellent maDinas, many of which cater to tran. slents, .cenic and well-protected har- bors, tine beaches, good restaurants, and interesting slghtseejn~ ashore. One of my favorite parts of thiS great cruising around is the area around Shelter Island. Here are some hip spots of our cruises there: Greenport has one of the most color. ful and picturesque waterfronts any. where. There's bustling action durinl the day, and a breathtaking scene a~ dusk, a fitting subject for artists and photographers. The marinas south of town are too exposed, so go up into Stirling Basin for better protection. Though It'. expensive. we like the dockside facilities at Stirling Harbor Marina.

It'. been our pleasure to watch Stirling Harbor Marina grow into one of the prettiest and most complete boating facilities in these waters. Greenport is the major yachting .up- ply center In the area, with everything handy to the waterfront. If you need lroceries, marine .uppUes, have elec- tronic trouble, want a new dink, saJIs made, your engine fixed, or your boat hauled, Greenport is the place.

Amid a1l of this green is the village of Greenport. which takt& its name from the verdant surroundin,!l:s and the natural deep-water harbor. Greenport, the hub of ttle North Fork, is a viUa,p worth spending time in. For a village its size-population 2,~1t has more than its share of good restaurants, fine shops and interesting architecture. For a village of any size, it has more than its share of nautical parapher- nalia. It has S. T. Preston & Sons, one of the best-known and best-stocked marine-supply stores in the Northeast. And it has Wiliam J. Mills & Company, sailmakers since 1880. Greenport is in the midst of discov- ering just how unique it really is. A group of local young artists and writ. trs, financed by a Federal grant, are tngaged in a historical review of the village. They hope to gather enough data to enable Greenport to qualify for the Federal Register of Historic Places. "Greenport wu a re'll frontier town," said Scott Evans, a member of the project. "And that frontier attitude is still here today." History Greenport's fortunes ha\'e always been tied to the ~e.. And like the sea, Greenport'! economy has had many 1J;?~ and downs over the years. The Village, incorporated in 1838. fint prospered as a whaling port, sen' in! and outfitting the men and the ship~ that sought an early energy source- whale oil. When the nation turned te kerosene, Greenport's fishennen sought the oily little menhaden. Durin.. Prohibition, Greenport was a major port for the rum.runners who brousht whiskey from Connecticut. And durinS the two World Wau, Greenport prospered as a shipbuilding port. But Repeal and peace brought both these activities to a halt. Since the early part of the 20th century, Gr~nport has ~n on the decline. In the last few years, the village has underBone something of a renaissance. Commercial fishing and oysterinB have improved along the harbor .and a new sense of village pride is evident a10ng the streets. Many of the old homes and shOps have heen renovated and a steady summer trade has been fostered. Many city dwellers are discovering Gretnport as an alternative to the Hamptons. "In many ways, Greenport today is like the Hamptons were 20 or 30 years ago," said Louis Black. a local resident and member of the group that is delving into the history of the villa&e. Stirling Harbor In Greenport, L.I. Walking Tour lIllIlMol..... For 8 review of Greenport's history and fortum"'S throu,l1;h its varied archi- tecture, a walk down Main Street to the harbor is in order. Beginning at the corner of Centre and Main Streets, there is a modit'ied Italianate house painted yellow with Illaroon and green trim. A block away is an inviting gingerbread house. all in white. Across from it is the old Greenport Audi. torium, built in 1894. Although now it. houses the Goldin Furniture Company, the interior of the old theater, has been kept relatively intact. In the orchestra there are sofas and chairs and bt'ds, in the balcony there are end tables and lamps, and on the stage- still graced with CUl'tains-are dining room sets. As one conlinuf"'l toward the water, thl!' ~hops begin to take on nautical themes. There are Arts of the Sea, Yarn Spinner, Nautilus Antiques, Open Marke:, Jewel Haroor and the Doofpot (brass and copper items). A group of buildin~s that once served as a livery and stables has betn convrrted into a ~hopping area calltd Stirling Square. In C'lddition to girt shop~ and boutiques in the square, there i5 a good restau- rant, th,.. Cinnamon Tree, and an ice cream parlor, Razzel's. Farther down the main street is thr Ireland House, a white Federal.style building that is being renovated .for use lIS the new home of the Greenpat His. torical Society. In front of the building stand two elm trees, among the ftw remaining tree'S that once lined the streets of the village.

L.L. an area where bikes. boats and ferries are the major forms of transporta- tion. On foot or by car. one is greeted by a sign fitted to the site. a lovely subdued pastel sign with a shingled roof above. surrounded by flowers below. The first preview is the boathouse mostly covered by large trees, that which is visible painted in five different shades of blue. Then. one goes on to a shipyard office. surrounded by a lawn, flowers. a blue and white awning. a front deck, chairs. petunias. birch trees and an office that's really a small house. Further. you notice the fKJsts linked together with roping. the blue and white theme continued. You wander over to the picnic area: more nautical blue and white in the grills, tables. fencing. telephone. then docks to the boats in the marina, down the hilly terrain. made even more attractive with the shrubs and flowers and, gazing further, you are struck by the beauty of the other side of the boathouse. It's five tones of blue reflecting in the rippling water along with the white and blue of the poles to which the lxtats are secured . a view that is first breathtaking. then hypnotizing. You walk along the grass and a road that you forget is a road, the other side a repeat of boats. water and planned landscaping, but it doesn't appear to be a street. nor does the parking field . they blend in with the area. a conscious pattern made out of the surrounding environment, allowing the eye such huge dimension of enjoyment. an environment that is not chaos, cars that do not rompete with but rompliment, a blend of the old and new together. brought into relationship with the view instead of obliterating it. The view is the focal p:>int; there's Jots of pedestrian space and a unique identity. It's expressive and humane. with every spot and comer having some ond of remarkable feature captured. Adjoining the parking area are locter rooms, rootel rooms, flags flying. Then, up a slight gro:lssy landscaped incline. a pool with a blue and white cyclone fence embracing it. And as you saunter on. there's another office opposite the pool . the marina office, a compound with showers and laundry room, all done with the same facade. a porch with hanging baskets flowing over with petunias and a continu- ance of the lovely lamp posts wih smoke coverings. And over the porch .gain. the blue and white CC1J~~~m m/J#l)~U' I Joan Kern awning. the office window, a large picture window with ship models on display and. inside. a hospitable staff and friendly, accommodating owners, Helen and Marc.

Then on to a quaint restaurant. one that we've not had the pleasure of dining in, but have heard it to be outstanding. called the Boat House. The same blue and white theme awnings. landscaping. more hills and flowers. You may enter through the harbor and steer your way through the many sailboats. You can walk around near the water below the hilly terrain enjoying both the water. landscaping and the sound of the breeze whispering through the pines as well as the sailboat halyards. or you can walk above and view for miles around. even glance at the church steeple not too far beyond. Not all areas have church steeples. but everyone has some kind of shape to use as a starting point. some important objects that ought to serve an important purpose. Every tO\\o11 has some property or other, big or small, that can. lite Stirling, be juxtaposed or made into a pattern. done imagin- ately - unexplored potential that would give a unique identity. expressive and humane. Every place has some kind of remarkable feature to be caught hold of. It's called "To\\o11scape." as is described in the book by that name and often quoted by me ("the art of placing objects together so that the result is something better than the original elements - the art of makJ.ng a pattern in the environment"). That's Stirling. The first step. a pilot scheme. to look at the town in tenns of sorting out identities. defining boundaries, exploring potentialities. surveying in an effort to give its character back.. If the face of our town is not to disappear in a welter of non.identity. the time to act is right now. Thus. the reason for- all ther paper work our civic organization (VOW) is involved in. so that we can apply for that longed for grant to make such plans. ideals and dreams possible. All that is lacking is the full-time service of dedicated people and the rmney. If Pope Sixtus could remodel Rome in 5 years. just think what we could do with Wantagh by paying 2 or three of our dedicated people to do it full time for one or two years. Perhaps not another Stirling Harbor. maybe oot quite that beautiful. but then again. maybe better. a model for all towns to imitate. II ~;,.) . i I I .

In 1618, the Earl of Stirling established nearby Greenport in Southold township, the oldest English speaking town in New York State. Greenport was to become the most important whaling and Shipping port in the northeast. Among its visitors were George Washington and Ben Franklin. The Earl would certainly commend the founders of Stirling Harbor Marina for preserving the taste and tradi- tions of his royal lineage and the early mariners who tied up there. Now plan your voyages with orig- inality. Sail to the colorful old ports in Connecticut, Rhode Island and the Massachusetts out islands, places for fresh, sparkling vacations that were just too far to enjoy in just a few days. From your base at Stirling Harbor Marina an occa- sional Friday or Monday off gets you to uncrowded, new, interesting destinations. Others who base their boats in areas to the west of us have " to plan major vacations to enjoy even nearby Mystic only 25 miles away from Stirling Harbor. See page 6 for nautical mileages and illustrations. -- -- . You don't get the impression of a marina layout with service buildings. What you see from any point at Stirling Harbor Marina are small, vignettes of quiet groups of fine boats. Clumps of tall masts, broad gleaming transoms and high deck houses are views you recall best. Astute planting hides parked cars. Architectural touches favor people as well as boats. It's all an extremely functional boat facility.
