Inscription.

The Hyde Park Ice Yacht Club, had its boathouse on lands now owned by Hyde Park Landing. Members were united by a shared passion for their river and their sport, particularly racing. FDR (before his presidential days), FW Vanderbilt, Archibald Rogers, Thomas Newbold, and others of Hyde Park and Staatsburg elite at the turn of the century (20th, that is) were part of a diverse membership, including doctors, lawyers, farmers, fishermen and other local personalities. In all, the membership roster for the year 1909 listed 78 active members.

The club had its own "signal," the club's burgee.

Hyde Park Landing, Ltd. has adopted the Hyde Park Ice Yacht Club signal as its logo, and proudly displays it beneath the US Ensign on its flagpole during the boating season.
