I believe the owner was part of a Blackey Cove group, as well as the club on Welch Island. Is there any accuracy to my recollection? Owner was a Mass. Buick dealer, I think.
On Welch, would that be the "Winter Harbor Yacht Club"?

I have a set of large glasses with that name embossed on the set--in blue.
