In November 2018, musician and boating enthusiast Billy Joel visited Webb Institute to speak about boating and the maritime industry. The lecture was hosted by journalist, author, historian, and adjunct Webb faculty member Bill Bleyer along with historian and author Robert MacKay. Bleyer and MacKay were co-instructors for the Long Island Maritime History course last fall.
