	LEXINGTON
		From 1835 to 1840, however, the Lexington was the fastest vessel on the route from New York City to Boston.
		On Monday, January 13, 1840 at 4:00 o'clock p.m., the Lexington was chosen for the New York to Stonington run because of bad weather with strong winds, high seas and sub zero temperatures would require the strongest boat for the journey.
		The Lexington, a symbol of Long Island's' maritime history, dates back to the early part of the nineteenth century and is irreplaceable as a historical resource for Suffolk County.
