Sag Harbor is known for its whaling history and deep ties to sea-faring lifestyles. The town is home to the Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum and even has several mentions in Moby-Dick.
So it’s rarely a surprise that when a Sag Harbor home goes up for sale, it very well could have belonged to a sea captain or been somehow a part of the rich whaling history of the town.
The home at 40 Hamilton Street was once a whaling cottage and is for sale at $1,250,000, reports Newsday.

The home was originally built in 1900 and maintains original details throughout including flooring and the door in the kitchen. The structure sits at 1,400-square-feet with two bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms.

The living room features wide plank flooring and a fireplace, while the kitchen has black and white tile floors with shelving rather than cabinets—a trend that is on the rise in small spaces and often found in apartments.
