Welcome to our 99 th Opening. 

Just one more year and we will be 100 years old, 

the best is yet to come. The opening celebrations 

at each club are getting bigger and better each 

year. We are pleased that you have chosen to attend 

our weekend of fun at “Kongo on the Kreek.” 

We will do everything we can to make you feel welcome 

and a part of the festivities. We hope you 

brought your dancing shoes and decorations for 

your boat. This will be a great day seeing all of our 

friends and making new acquaintances. I personally 

have a hard time counting all the great friends 

we have found by visiting the other great clubs 

around the Bay. 

All of the clubs around The Bay and Delaware River 

are like one great family that choose to get together 

for weekend parties at different locations. 

Maryland Yacht Club Officers, Board of Directors, 

Executive Committee, Manager, volunteers, and 

staff wish you a great weekend. 

Remember our motto coined by Kevin Coleman our 

Vice Commodore, “if you are at Maryland Yacht 

Club and you are not having fun, you better check 

your pulse.” 

To Princess Katie, we wish you the best and the 

same to all of the Club Princesses competing in the 

Queen’s Pageant. 

From the twin helms of “Slainte Maher” (our boat) 

my wife CommoDoris and I wish all of you a safe 

and happy boating season.

and ultimately, the whole Chesapeake Bay so 

well. 

-Your grace and perseverance give proof that 

you will succeed in whatever future endeavor

reign but rather the beginning of another great 

adventure – a wonderful life that has no

From The Queen of the Chesapeake 

This last year represents one of the most life changing and memorable times 

of my life. In June, 2006; I was blessed with the honor of serving as your 2006 

Queen of the Chesapeake. Truly, my head was in the clouds, I was overwhelmed by 

the wonder of it all. I was experiencing some of the most wonderful and exciting 

times of my entire life. I felt challenged to get to know each of my clubs, their officers 

and members, on a more personal level. Well, the unexpected sorrows of life 

has brought each of you into my heart. The yacht clubs of the Chesapeake Bay 

have become my family beyond even my greatest expectations. During my year of 

reign, you have touched me deeply by your unconditional love and support. You 

gave me the gift of strength in order to serve during what would also become the 

saddest and most difficult days of my life. 

By October, 2006; my mother was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer; 

my wonderful, happy days as Queen were shattered. I was in shock and pain over 

how in one frightening day my happy world had collapsed. I had assumed that I 

would be unlikely to continue in my capacity as your Queen. I would need to 

dedicate all my time and help to my family during these difficult days. Once again, 

something wonderful and unexpected happened in my life. My yacht club family 

gave me the love and strength to survive my heartache. I can never express how 

dear you are to me. You will never know how moving your love truly is. 

To the 2006-07 Commodores, First Ladies and Officers, I can never express 

my respect and gratitude for each of you. Thank you for sharing this year with me, 

and giving me memories that I will never forget. 

To the 2007 princesses, each of you are so unique and beautiful. I could 

never have been blessed with a better group of girls. I love each of you dearly and 

wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Remember to always reach for 

the moon, because no matter what, you will end up among the stars. 

I would also like to thank my second home, Red Eye Yacht Club, for giving 

me a chance at this wonderful opportunity. I cannot thank you each enough for 

opening your doors and hearts to me, it is greatly appreciated. Without your support, 

I don’t think this year could have been possible. 

Again, I would like to thank everyone for making this year possible. I look 

forward to seeing you on the bay!! 

Lacie Bunting 

2006 Queen of the Chesapeake

From our Princess 

Thank you for attending our 99 th Opening and 

60 th Queens Pageant. This and next years 

events will be history makers. We are so happy 

you can be a part of these events, we welcome 

you. 

To Queen Lacie, thanks for being here and 

serving so proudly as 

Queen of the Chesapeake Bay. 

To all of other Princesses we wish you luck. 

To the Maryland Yacht Club members, thank 

you for allowing me to represent our club and I 

wish you all a great boating season and may 

you double your list of good friends.

Queen of the Chesapeake Pageant Director 

Rhonda Rose 

Since 1998, Rhonda Rose has been the director of the Queen of the Chesapeake Pageant. 

With personal experience as both a participant and director of pageants, we are lucky to 

have Rhonda share her expertise with our pageant participants. 

Rhonda was crowned Miss Montgomery County in 1984 and went on to compete in the 

Miss Maryland Scholarship Pageant that year, appearing in the top 15. From that point 

on, Rhonda has been involved in pageants, also capturing titles in the Maryland Scholarship 

program in the areas of Miss Greenbelt and Miss Frederick. 

Prior to her involvement with pageants, Rhonda was a competitive baton twirler from 

1972-1981, capturing many state titles. Rhonda went on to teach baton and dance and 

then began directing the Queen of the Chesapeake Pageant in 1998, where she helps the 

contestants develop and looks forward to seeing their growth from year to year. 

Rhonda is currently employed by Lockheed Martin Corporation in Gaithersburg where 

she is a manager for a service organization. She also operates her own business, 

“Occasions, etc.”, a wedding and special event company. 

Rhonda resides in Damascus, Maryland with her husband Larry and his two children, Andrew 

and Brittany.

Rachel Holmes Crusan 


1948 

Rachel Holmes Cruzan was first educated 

in art by nature. Growing up in rural 

Northeastern Maryland, Rachel watched 

the changes in color, texture and perspective 

brought about by each change in season. 

She learned about the subtleties of 

color gradation, and the differences in 

flora and fauna that occurred four times a year. As a child she had a natural interest in all things 

artistic. She loved to crank out designs on sheets of paper from the family's manual spectograph. 

"Art has always been fun for me," she says. Rachel loved music and words and grew to 

be an accomplished writer, as well as a prolific and talented artist. 

While studying for her Masters degree in Liberal Arts at Johns Hopkin University in Maryland, 

Rachel reveled in her Art History classes and learned a great deal from spending time at the 

Baltimore Museum of Art, conveniently located next door to the university campus, and at the 

Walters Art Gallery in downtown Baltimore. As a teacher, Rachel used her artistic talents to 

bring visual media to her language arts classroom. In so doing she was able to bring the written 

word to life for her students. 

As a commercial artist, Rachel learned how to translate her artistic talent into marketable mediums 

while developing newspaper, magazine and billboard advertising. 

Rachel always painted things she liked from people to trains, landscapes to florals and seascapes. 

In so doing she has become highly skilled at turning two dimensional photographs into 

three dimensional paintings that bring the subjects to life in a meaningful and memorable way. 

France and Italy added artistic perspective to Rachel's arsenal of skills. Spending time in 

Europe's art galleries and seeing the Masters on display expanded her ideas on various painting 

techniques. 

One of Rachel's daughters says that Rachel's paint choices parallel her life. During dark times, 

she paints in muted and darker hues. When life is joyful, that joy is reflected in the vibrant colors 

Rachel chooses. 

Today, Rachel lives near the ocean in Northeast Florida and enjoys painting the seascapes, 

landscapes, flora and fauna of the region as well as portraits. Her art is displayed at a variety of 

area art shows and she teaches watercolor painting in the area. Rachel welcomes the opportunity 

to paint commissioned pieces

Don’t need a slip? No boat? Just want to have fun? Come to Maryland Yacht Club! 

We are one of the friendliest and most active yacht clubs on the Chesapeake Bay! Maryland Yacht Club covers 

over eight acres of beautiful waterfront at the end of Fairview Beach Road in Pasadena Maryland. It 

is situated at the entrance to Rock Creek and commands a grand view of the Patapsco River on one 

side and Rock Creek on the other. 

It is true that MYC has great facilities and numerous social events, but we also have wonderful people. 

The yachting community is about boating, friends, and families. Come for a 

visit, stay for the lifestyle. 

We offer two types of membership, Resident and Social. 

Resident Members have a slip contract and keep their boat in the basin. 

They have full access to all the Club facilities and events. They also have a 

vote on the business matters (rules, budget, fees) of the Club at the quarterly 

general membership meetings. 

Social Members do not have a slip contract or vote on the business matters of the Club. They do have 

full access to all the Club facilities and events.

Here are some gems from our Maryland Yacht Club history that we would 

like to share with our guests. 

Contributed by P/C Harold E. Fink 

One Sunday afternoon, one of those unreliable 

“Naphtha” launches conked out just off a yacht club at 

Ferry Bar, Baltimore Harbor. They paddled over to the 

club dock for protection until a storm passed but the 

storm on the dock was even worse. Uniformed dock 

boys were threatening to cut their lines if they didn’t 

leave. Members on the porch were shouting “Get that 

damn thing away from here before it blows up and kills 

everybody.” Finally, the storm passed, the engine 

started, and they cast off much to the relief of the members 

and employees of the club. After leaving the hostile 

dock, the Naphtha launch men decided to start a club of 

their own and called it Maryland Yacht Club. 

Commodore 

William P. Bigelow 1911 

On the night of October 27, 1908, at the old Auto House in Baltimore, forty-eight men 

attended a meeting at the invitation of Mr. E. C. Loane. The new club was officially organized 

as the Maryland Motor Boat Club incorporated on November 10, 1908, when it 

was duly recorded with the State Tax Commission. The record is signed by Meyer 

Rosenblush, our first Commodore. It is likely that we are the second oldest Yacht Club 

in the United States in terms of continuous history and proven dates. 

In the spring of 1909, the Club raised $8,000 and built a clubhouse on piles on the northern 

shore of the middle branch of the Patapsco River between the present Hanover Street 

Bridge and Ferry Bar. A picture of this clubhouse is in our current clubhouse. When 

more than a few sail boaters joined the club it was decided to change the name to Maryland 

Yacht Club, which was done on December 17, 1919. 

Soon after that, the Western Maryland Railroad bought Ferry Bar from the city, forcing 

the Club to a new location. The sunken yacht Violet was raised and towed to where the 

Hanover Bridge Marina is today, and it became the clubs new home. The membership at 

that time was 138. A picture of the Violet is also in our clubhouse. Commodore Rosenblush’s 

Seylla, in the picture, won a silver cup on August 22, 1914, and this is the Club’s 

oldest trophy. By 1925 the membership had outgrown the Violet so they moved to Broening 

Park, which was owned by the city and is now the location of Harbor Hospital. 

Twenty thousand people were present to see the opening ceremonies and the first power 

boat race in Baltimore. Commodore Fredrick led a Fleet Review of 65 boats that day. 

The basin grew to 188 slips and was a model for other clubs throughout the country. The 

membership in 1929 was 665.

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. 

The first “Queen of the Chesapeake” Pageant was held in 

1948 and the first Queen was Miss Rachel Holmes of Bush 

River Yacht Club. The interviewing of contestants started in 

1950. Maryland Yacht Club has had three winners: Mary Lou 

King in 1951, Ellen Potter in 1970, and Carol Doetlaff in 

1987. 

In 1971, the new “A” pier project was started and that lead to 

the rebuilding of the other piers into our present B,C,D and E 

piers. 

Then came the 1975 Labor Day cruise to St. Michael’s. At 

2:00a.m. Sunday morning the phone call came informing us 

that the clubhouse had burned down. We only had a few 

thousand dollars in the bank, but with lots of courage we 

built anew. Our present clubhouse was completed in October, 

1976. 

In 1982, the beach house was torn down and rebuilt making 

the oldest original structure standing today the carousel, 

which was built in the early 30’s. The pilings to the north of 

the beach house which once supported the loading dock 

where the steamers tied up and discharged their happy 

crowds are still visible. 

The automatic gate was installed in 1978 and many problems 

(some mechanical) came with it, but they were a minor inconvenience 

compared to the improved security. You can be 

sure, however, that our gate is always open to our boating 

friends, and that exciting things will continue to happen at 

Maryland Yacht Club.
