Marine Art Giclée Print from an Original Oil Painting
At the turn of the twentieth century, many prominent summer and permanent residents belonged to the Home Club. The clubhouse, formerly the
home of Captain Alexander Fisher, an old time whaler, still stands at 7 South Water Street (and is part of the Harborside Inn property).
It was open year-round. Among the Home Club’s treasures was the masthead light of Admiral Cervera’s flagship, which was sunk off the southern
coast of Cuba during the Spanish-American War. In the summertime the Home Club sponsored races for the large cabin catboats, which were
without auxiliary power, and carried much larger spars and sails than are usual today. At a meeting on January 5th, 1905, the racing members
of the Home Club decided to establish a separate organization and the Edgartown Yacht Club was founded later that year. Our first Commodore
was Edward H. Raymond.
