"On a summer evening in 1887, C. Howard Schemerhorn (who later became
Commodore of the Ocean City Yacht Club from 1904-07) and others met with the
intent of finding a place where "They could keep their boats in safety and not
be compelled on Low Tide to wade out in the mud to get their boats." - Yacht
Club Log Book-April 1916. . . . A location was found between 11th & 12th Street
on Pleasure Ave. The name 12th Boat Club 'was agreed upon and a boathouse built
65' long, 20' wide.' . . . A certificate of Incorporation of the Ocean City
Yacht Club was approved by Andrew C. Boswell, Master in Chancery of New Jersey
on June 27, 1901."

Lloyd's mentions them in 1906, and it lists them as "Organized, 1899. -
Incorporated, 1901."
(Same burgee, though not as small a ratio as 1:2.)

If you go to https://www.ocyc.org and use
the bottom menu bar to read the About menu, you'll find there is a corrected
version of that history, called "History". It turns out it was "12th Street Boat
Club" after all.
