TYRO (LOC)

    Ice Yacht (or Ice Boat) Tyro shows up in a couple of NY Times articles:
    -17 January 1920
    -13 December 1915--mentions that owner is Thomas Henry Grant.
    -22 January 1918 NY Times mentions a collision between Gull and Tyro in a race at Red Bank, New Jersey. Given the adjacent photo of crowds on the ice is labeled "At Red Bank", it seems likely this is the site of these photos.

    A recent reference mentions the Tyro, appears to be the same yacht--Fond Memories--January 2002. Remarkably, the correspondent, Robert Clark II, says (no date given) that:
    My family still has the Tyro and we wait patiently for the ice to set up in the flats each year.

    Thanks! We'll add the information in the source data and reload the description.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Vintage New Jersey, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Yeah I was going to guess Red Bank as well - a lot of my research on my hometown a bit farther south of there in the New York Tribune microfilm files at the New York Public Library from 1914-1917 crossed paths with many such photos from Red Bank.

    In February, 1914, entrants from the North Shrewsbury and South Shrewsbury Ice Yacht Clubs contended for the annual North American Ice Yacht championship over a twenty-mile course on the Shrewsbury River, at Red Bank, New Jersey. Here's the New York Times report of the goings-on, February 16, 1914: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=940CE...
