TITLE: “Nantucket Yacht Club, 1906-2006”

By Stephen Sheppard.
Published by the Nantucket Yacht Club in 2006.

DISCUSSION: The author was the Sports Editor of the Nantucket Independent
and an Editor at Nantucket Magazine. The Club's website notes- "Into a
burgeoning summer scene, the Nantucket Yacht Club was born in the summer
of 1906, when sailing enthusiasts led by H. Holton Wood assembled their
boats off Brant Point and held organized races in Nantucket Sound. They
met in houses built on Hulbert Avenue in 1900 by Henry Oliver Underwood,
and had use of a nearby pier, complete with gazebo, owned by the
neighboring Atkins Family. Although still in its infancy, the new club
acted as though it had been established for years. The first flag officers
were H. Holton Wood, commodore; J.E.T. Rutter, vice commodore; Alice
Underwood, secretary-treasurer; and Margaret Underwood, fleet captain. In
mid-September, the yacht club held its first Commodore’s Cup Race to close
the season. The new club was here to stay. Like no other intuition of
Nantucket, it is a place where traditions are honored, where the past is
respected, and where families are celebrated – its history intertwined
with that of the island it calls home".

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 12"x10", 186 pages, color and black & white
illustrations.
