Title
A Yacht Race on Washington's Birthday, 1887
Description
"This spring of 1887 it was apparent that the Bay could provide all the boats necessary for a yacht-race, and it was decided to celebrate Washington's Birthday with an open regatta...It was a success in every way. Thus began organized aquatic sports on the Bay, the Washington's Birthday regatta afterward being a fixture of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, until the displacement of sails by gasoline in general interest caused it to degenerate into a chowder-party. -The Commodore's Story by Ralph M. Munroe and Vincent Gilpin, Part XV (Typescript).
