After many months of writing and editing, we are proud to announce the launch of our "South Shore portal" web site. The site examines the cultural history and contemporary traditions of Long Island's south shore estuary, stretching from Atlantic Beach to Hampton Bays. Learn about the maritime architecture, ranging from bay houses and bungalows to boatyards and hotels. See what is in your home town. Listen to stories of hurricanes and rum runners. Learn how to document your community's cultural resources. Add your own story to our memories page. And learn what baymen do for a living. All this and more! Just click on http://www.longislandtraditions.org/southshore/#.html. And share your thoughts with us and link to us!
