Sag Harbor’s 250th Birthday Highlights Whaling Era
Washington Sag Harbor celebrates its 250th birthday as a seaside town and former whaling hub. Once bustling in the mid 1800s with high masted ships and whale oil, the harbor saw 32 ships in 1847 bringing 605000 pounds of bone and 68000 barrels of oil worth over a million dollars. The industry faded after oil discoveries in Pennsylvania and the Myra, the last whaler, left Sag Harbor in 1871 with a cargo valued at about 32000.
