  • Description
  • The Oakmont Boat Club, later known as the Oakmont Yacht Club, was founded on July 4, 1903, which makes it the oldest inland yacht club in the country. C.V. Tiers, the founder, gathered together a number of his friends to begin the club. The first fleet consisted largely of rowboats. Canoes and sailboats were added a bit later. The introduction of motorboats began in 1916. This image shows a group of female friends laughing on the bank of the Allegheny. One of the girls may be Elva Hays. Judging from the number of boats on the river and the amount of people behind them, most of Oakmont had gathered to watch a regatta hosted by the Oakmont Boat Club. Originally from the collection of Elva Hayes.
