  Photos		Post Boat "Sea" .. Brookhaven Hamlet has had a long nautical heritage, both for commercial and pleasure boats. In 1912, James H. Post purchased this craft from a boat builder in Bay Share. It became a fixture in the Hamlet, first docked at Squassux Landing and later at a slip on Beaver Dam Creek at the rear of his daughter and son-in-law Elisabeth and Tom Morrow's home on Bay Road. The people in this picture are unidentified, although one of the women is likely Louisa, his wife. While the picture is said to have been taken by James Post, the man in the boat, while faint, bears a resemblance to Post.

  		Brookhaven Fire Commissioners (Brookhaven, NY, Fire District), about 1947 .. in front of the new fire station of the Brookhaven Fire Department dedicated August 1947. In 1947, the fire district had just one fire station. There is now a second station at the eastern end of the district, in Shirley, NY. An addition has also been added to this building to the left. Also, a detached service building has been constructed further to the left (east). A private dwelling behind this site has been converted to fire district offices. The actual date of the picture is uncertain. A history of the South Country Ambulance Company (successor to the Brookhaven Ambulance Company) indicated that their purchase of a 1938 LaSalle ambulance from the Patchogue ambulance company did not occur until February 1948. The vehicle immediately to the right of the fire commissioners is almost certainly the 1938 ambulance. The vehicle to the extreme right is the 1926 Kissell ambulance also purchased from the Patchogue ambulance company in 1940 at the founding of the Brookhaven Ambulance Company.
