Modesty was an oyster sloop built in 1923 by The Wood and Chute Shipyard of Greenport, Long Island, and is now located at the Long Island Maritime Museum in West Sayville, New York. Modeled after the catboat Honest, which was built in 1892 by Jelle Dykstra on the west bank of Greens Creek in West Sayville, Modesty was built as a gaff-rigged sloop, but retained the extreme beam of a catboat.
