Apparently, in 1946, a new yacht club was created, and it happened to
use a name that was already in use. (The name again may have been dormant
because of the war.)
By 1949, Lloyd's lists two Brooklyn Yacht Clubs: One
the star on red, and the other a burgee blue before red per hoistward chevron
with a centred white capital B, and smaller white capital Y at the hoist and C
at the fly.
In 1950, neither of the two is shown in Lloyd's. Then in
1951, Lloyd's shows the blue-yellow burgee shown above. By 1954, it's no longer
shown. In Lloyd's 1963, the Brooklyn Yacht club of 1946 is listed for the
address of the current BYC, making it likely the 1951 burgee belongs with the
current club, even if they don't picture a burgee themselves.
