From some 'excerpts' from Maryland Yacht Club....In 1945, the Club leased Fairview (our present site) for ten years with the thought that this would be a summer quarters. Fairview had been a big, commercial beach and amusement park in the 30's. The steamships Mohawk, Fairview, and Kitty Knight brought people by boat from Baltimore and others came by car. During the war years of the 40's, the boats were gone and the cars had no gas. After the war, when gas was again available, the cars drove to Ocean City instead of nearby Bay beaches. In the late 40's, the old hotel was renovated into a more modern clubhouse with a dining room, dance floor, cocktail lounge, kitchen and restrooms. In 1953, the Club bought Fairview and in 1955 left Broening Park......
