On the Manasquan

The Manasquan River Yacht Club was established in 1899, but functioned without a clubhouse that first summer of 1900. The original clubhouse was a former wheelhouse for cyclists and ice cream pavilion called "Wheelman's Rest" located on the west side of the Old Wooden Wagon Bridge to Point Pleasant. In 1906 the MRYC purchased from the Manasquan River Land Company the parcel of land on which the clubhouse now sits. This painting shows the MRYC around 1915 with its dock. The building was demolished in 1961 when the present clubhouse was built. That's the commodore's wife on the porch, telling him they are due someplace for tea. The large sailboat is a Sneakbox and smaller is a Duckboat.
