As soon as the Seaside Park Yacht Club was organized, its members began to make plans for their first regatta, which was held on Aug 9, 1900. U.S. Senator William J. Sewell was on hand to present the Sewell trophy that he had given to the club for races to be run annually on the second Saturday of August. The trophy, designed like a Greek urn 12 inches high, was made of sterling silver and mounted on an ebony base.
