"Black Rock
Yacht Club traces its origins to 1874. In that year, George A. Wells, an
associate of P.T. Barnum, purchased a building on the land where the clubhouse
now sits. It became known as part of the George Hotel, known the world over for
its elegance and charm. . . . "
"By 1902, the glory days of the George
Hotel had passed the "Shore House" as our present club house was known, was
sold. For years the spacious harbor house was used primarily for entertaining as
a summer home, until on July 3, 1926, it officially opened as the Black Rock
Yacht and Lawn Club flying the adopted red and white burgee of the old
Bridgeport Yacht Club."
"On January 16th, 1926 The Black Rock Yacht and
Lawn Club Inc. (the name was changed in 1927 to its present name) made an
agreement with Kenneth W. McNeil, the owner of our present property, whereby he
agreed to sell the land and its improvements. The club completed the purchase of
the property on June 15th, 1932."

Lloyd's of 1917 lists the Black Rock Yacht Club as organized and incorporated
in 1915. Basically, that means the club was created once it was clear that the
Bridgeport YC had gone out of existence. (1914)
