Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Baymen Heritage Association hosted a groundbreaking for a monument that will honor fallen baymen.

The Baymen's Memorial Monument will be installed in the coming months in Theodore Roosevelt Park.

Many members of the Heritage Association raised funds for the project, including a large donation from musician Billy Joel.

"A place of reflection, where friends family and visitors visiting our beautiful harbor can take time to think about the sacrifices made by our baymen," Saladino said.

The monument is set to be completed by spring of next year.
