context_page_description: Hope is an oyster sloop that was completed in 1948. It is believed to be the last sail-powered oystering vessel built on the Long Island Sound. Hope is 56 feet long, including the bowsprit, and 42 feet 2 inches at the waterline. Its beam is 15 feet 2 inches, and it draws 4 feet 9 inches with the centerboard up. Hope is gaff rigged, 'V'-bottomed and has an 850-pound centerboard. Hope's shallow draft facilitated shoal water work.
