I list it as:
Bridgeport Yacht Club: Listed in Lloyd's (that I know of) first 1903, last 1914. In 1898 relocated to Black Rock, as reported in Bridgeport on the Sound, p.92. The book also confirms that the club had disbanded by World War One.
Burgee later adopted by the Black Rock Yacht Club (Bridgeport). (First listed 1917.)
