Erie Yacht Club

One of the WikiProject Erie editors has begun to draft an article on the Erie Yacht Club. Local residents and former and current members of the club may wish to contribute details from old newspaper clippings and local histories that they've collected over the years. Those with personal photographs of the club and some of its more important past members may wish to upload some of those shots to Wikipedia and include them in the article. The county library probably has a clippings folder in the row of metal cabinets between the work tables and the CD collection. Discussion of content has already begun on the article's talk page. Feel free to add content to the article or throw some information on the talk page for editors to feed into the article.

Marinas.com has an excellent set of photographs of the marina. I came across an interesting photograph of the yacht club's lighthouse. There is also an online weather station. Boldt Gallery has some photographs of the club online. Boldt even posted some 1950's video footage of the club at YouTube. The photo in this article is from PicasaWeb and is identified as Karen's Best.
