Welcome to the City Island Historical Society's new Web site. We are delighted to be able to introduce you to one of the most interesting communities in New York City, a small island with a rich nautical history. Much of this colorful past is preserved in the Society's Nautical Museum, which is open to visitors every Sunday afternoon. This site will provide you with a quick tour of the Museum's interesting exhibits, some of them dedicated to City Island's famous yacht-builders who contributed to the successful defense of the America's Cup. Through our on-line collection, we also offer a sampling of the images of boats and historic houses that are part of our archives.
