The Royal Northumberland Yacht Club is based in the Port of Blyth, Northumberland, England. The club was formed at Alnmouth in 1890 when a group of owners sought permission from the Duke of Northumberland to erect temporary sheds on the foreshore for purposes of winter refit. The Duke's Estates would not deal with them individually but only if they formed an 'association'. By 1899 the club had moved to the Port of Blyth. From its earliest days the club's headquarters have been afloat. The first House Yacht was a schooner once owned by Robert Stephenson, the engineer. The second was an Admiralty concrete tug, the Cretehatch which capsized at its moorings in 1949. The present vessel is a former Trinity House light vessel (LV 50), which last saw service at Calshot Spit at the entrance to Southampton Water. Built in 1879, she is the oldest surviving wooden light vessel still afloat in the UK. More information...
