History

Although there are references to an active "club" prior to 1870, history records that the present clubhouse was erected in 1870 at a cost of Ł4,000 to a design by William Sterling and the Kingstown Royal Harbour Boat Club was registered with Lloyds in the same year. By 1872 the name had been changed to the Kingston Harbour Boat Club and this change was registered at Lloyds.
