Commercial fishing once was an important business in Port Washington. There were five such operations. Each had a fishing shack and a boat. Recently three of the shacks were demolished to make room for a high-rise condominium project. Another shack was demolished years ago. It is anticipated that this shack will be restored and used for some kind of commercial venture. The boat (the Oliver Smith) will probably be moved elsewhere in the Port Washington harbor. The Port Washington light house is visible in the background.   Also see
