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

According to several NYT articles, the Gull was owned by a Daniel Asay, of the North Shrewsbury Ice Yacht Club. See for example NYT of Feb 22, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E07E6DC1E39E633A...

More on the owner (Daniel V. Asay) at www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=23307487

I added him to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_V._Asay

Daniel V. Asay was my great-great-grandfather and the Gull was built for him by Joseph Lake. I haven't yet discovered the exact year it was built but it was mentioned in an article in the Red Bank Register as early as 1906. He sold it in 1917 to Robert Johnson.

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

Must be Red Bank New Jersey, mentioned as site of an ice yacht race, perhaps location of adjacent photos: -22 January 1918 NY Times mentions a collision between Gull and Tyro.

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