Synopsis
The Detroit Yacht Club (DYC) began in 1868, shortly after the end of the Civil War. Since its founding, the yacht club has played an essential role in Detroit society. Under the leadership of Gar Wood and Gus Schantz, Detroit became the world's center for the new sport of speedboat racing. America's 1932 Olympic swim team competed at the club en route to its gold medal victories, and from 1932 to 1935, the club hosted hours for Detroit's Golden Gloves boxing tournament. Today's clubhouse was designed by George Mason, the architect of Detroit's Masonic Temple and Mackinac Island's Grand Hotel. Completed in 1923 and in the National Register of Historic Places, it is the DYC's fifth clubhouse, and at 93,658 square feet, it is the largest yacht club facility in the United States. Over time, the club has evolved from only male members to an inclusive club with a diverse membership. John Gibson, a trustee of the Detroit Yacht Club's Preservation Fund, was the president of the Michigan Archival Association from 2004 to 2006 and served as the archivist of the Detroit Public Library's Burton Historical Collection from 1990 to 2004. Toni Michnovicz Gibson has taught for over 30 years and is the coauthor of Los Alamos and the Pajarito Plateau and Los Alamos: 1944-1947 by Arcadia Publishing. The majority of the images come from the Burton Historical Collection, the Detroit Historical Society, the Detroit Yacht Club, the Collections of The Henry Ford, and the Walter P. Reuther Library, Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs, at Wayne State University. The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country. Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today. Arcadia is proud to play a part in the preservation of local heritage, making history available to all., The Detroit Yacht Club (DYC) began in 1868, shortly after the end of the Civil War.

- e***s (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller promptly responded to inquiries with the requested information. Provided images of the condition of the product. Dust jacket slightly beaten up - to be expected. Complete absence of defects inside the book apart from a slight defect on the corner of the front page. Was shipped in good time, but shipping was costly (although it was shipped from the US to UK). Overall, very happy with both the product and the seller. I would buy from this seller again.
