Description of the flag

The Atlantic City Yacht Club is listed in Lloyd's Register of American Yachts, 1906, as organised and incorporated in 1901, station: Gardner's Basin, Atlantic City, N.J.

Depicted is a triangular bicolour burgee, ca. 2:3, white before very dark blue, with centred in the white a very dark blue five-pointed star, a quarter of the fly in height.

The Atlantic City Yacht Club was also where "Commodore" Louis Kuehnle, the man who "built Atlantic City bigger and better", got his title from. The yacht club is no longer listed in the 1912 edition. I wonder whether the ship went down with the captain, when Kuehnle went to prison in 1911.

Seaside Yacht Club

image by Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 27 May 2015

After the disappearance of the original ACYC, the Seaside Yacht Club in late 1911 or in 1912 changed its name to The Atlantic City Yacht Club. Indeed, the Atlantic City Yacht Club is listed in Lloyd's Register of American Yachts, 1917, as organised in 1902 and incorporated in 1905, station: Head of New Hampshire Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J.. These are the years of the Seaside Yacht Club, and the burgee shown is the design previously attributed to the SYC as well.

The Atlantic City Yacht Club is listed in Lloyd's Register of American Yachts, 1905/06, 1906, and 1912, as organised in 1902 and incorporated in 1905, station: Foot of Massachusetts Avenue, Atlantic City, N.J. After that, it changed its name to Atlantic City Yacht Club.

Its burgee is depicted as a circa 2:3 tricolour, with a white over red hoist and a very dark blue fly. Why the clubs had similar burgee designs, I've not been able to determine.

By 1963, Lloyd's still listed this ACYC, even if it no longer showed the burgee. Apart from automated meaningless indexes, no current references to the club seem to exist, though, suggesting that the name is once again free for the taking.
