West Sayville isn't on the Long Island Sound[edit]

I hope this sloop is named for the waters it used to sail, because the name title suggests that it's docked on the Long Island Sound, which is only on the North Shore of Long Island. Priscilla and the Long Island Maritime Museum are on the Great South Bay, which is on the south shore. ----DanTD (talk) 14:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The epithet "Long Island Sound Oyster Sloop" appears to have been applied by the National Park Service in this boat's NRIS entry. The NHL nomination form describes her (under an "Other Name" heading) as a Great South Bay Oyster Sloop, presumably because that is where she was built. The statement of significance says "Priscilla is a classic Long Island Sound and Great South Bay oyster dredging sloop". She appears to have spent the bulk of her working career on the Connecticut shore. Of the landmarked oyster boats, she is the only one built on the south coast of Long Island.
