This vintage real photo postcard features a pretty view of Northport Harbor. Northport is located on the Northshore of Long Island and is a community in the township of Huntington. This nautical scene takes place on Long Island Sound. Note the houses at the water’s edge, which include the local yacht club, as well as the houses built on the hills of the village. Also note the sailboats and the rowboat which likely served as a launch. Historically, Northport was a town and port that was involved in the whaling industry. Many of the houses of the ship captains that lived by the water in the 1800’s, still are housing many of the town’s residents today. They are beautiful and high end residences. This postcard is undivided and was postmarked in 1905. The photograph seen on this card was taken by W. H. Barto. SOLD
