Description
This color postcard shows the Oakmont Yacht Club and Motor Boat Club from the Allegheny River. 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.
