History
The Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club was founded (as the "Seawanhaka Yacht Club") in September 1871 aboard the sloop "Glance", anchored off Centre Island. "Glance"'s captain, William L. Swan, was elected Seawanhaka’s first Commodore. For many years, club meetings were held aboard this flagship.
In 1881, the club leased space in Staten Island, and the word "Corinthian" was incorporated into the club’s name. In 1887 the organization leased a club house in Manhattan. Finally, in 1891-2, the club returned to Oyster Bay, where a new club house was opened, and the club merged with the Oyster Bay Yacht Club.
Recognizing its important history, the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. [National Register of Historic Places, listed January 8, 1974.]
