St. Petersburg Yacht Club Turns 100 Years Old

July 16th, 2009

From The St Petersburg Downtown Newsletter:

The St. Petersburg Yacht Club marks its 100th anniversary this year, with a number of gala events and activities planned to celebrate the occasion.
Organized in 1909 with the purpose “to promote, encourage and protect interests of boating and boatsmen in and about the city of St. Petersburg,” the yacht club had a fitful start.
According to historian Carl Grismer, nothing definite was accomplished until 1916. Then, a group of the city’s movers and shakers, led by William Straub of the St. Pete Times, the Evening Independent’s Lew Brown, and George Gandy of Gandy Bridge fame, decided to jump in and revitalize the organization.
Action followed. A group of charter members were promptly signed up, and $15,000 was raised to construct a new clubhouse.
A problem surfaced, however. The Yacht Club was without “yachts.”
