The Priscilla, built in 1888, is a 60 feet long oyster sloop with a 14-foot beam. 
In 1976, she was donated to the Long Island Maritime Museum
This vessel is the oldest and only sailing work-boat to survive from the Great South Bay oyster fleet. There are only four of her kind still in existence. 
In 2006 Priscilla was designated as a National Historic Landmark.
