CHRISMAN CALIFORNIA ISLANDS CENTER
6 WEEKS’ UPDATE ~ DECEMBER 2, 2021
FULL SPEED AHEAD
Steady progress has been made throughout 2021, with construction updates
provided every 6 weeks. As we approach the end of the year, we extend a
heartfelt thank you to the amazing community of island supporters who
collectively continue to participate and contribute to the ‘stone soup’ that
has formed the Chrisman California Islands Center into an excitingly unique
educational facility. The broad spectrum of interests represented by involved
participants serves to make the CCIC the ‘Huntington Library’ for all things
California Islands.

Most recently, Marilyn Goodfield has been hard at work assembling a unique
collection of seventeen island burgees to serve as a welcoming-line under
which all visitors will pass when entering the CCIC. Clubs have been involved
with the Channel Islands since the late 19th century when biologist, author
and sportsman, Charles Frederick Holder [CurCor #35], founded the Tuna Club
at Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, in 1898. The Tuna Club burgee represents
the earliest island flag. It is with thanks to club member, Jack Byers, their
burgee flies at the CCIC entryway.
During the 20th century, many yacht clubs throughout southern California got
involved in leasing outstations on Santa Catalina Island:
San Diego Yacht Club (est. 1886) Corsair Yacht Club (est. 1937)
Los Angeles Yacht Club (est. 1901) Blue Water Cruising Club (est.
1945)
Newport Harbor Yacht Club (est. 1916) Fourth of July Yacht Club (est.
1950s)
Balboa Yacht Club (est. 1922) Isthmus Yacht Club (est. 1951)
California Yacht Club (est. 1922) Offshore Cruising Club (est.
1954)
Catalina Island Yacht Club (est. 1924) Del Rey Yacht Club (est. 1962)
San Diego Yacht Club burgee (est. 1886)
As interesting aside, although the San Diego Yacht Club is the oldest club
represented on Santa Catalina Island, established in 1886, its island
outstation didn’t begin until the end of the 20th century—in 1997.
The Isthmus Yacht Club (est. 1951) has its headquarters in the oldest
building on Santa Catalina Island, the Civil War barracks built in 1863-64.
Catalina Island Conservancy signature burgee and logo pin.
In 1972, Philip K. and Helen Wrigley, and Mrs. Dorothy Wrigley Offield,
founded the Catalina Island Conservancy, to preserve and restore Catalina
Island's Natural History. The Conservancy designed its own distinguishing
logo and burgee.
Skunk Point Yacht Club (est. 1949)
Two additional California Channel Islands historically boasted their own
yacht club burgees, both now defunct: Skunk Point Yacht Club, Santa Rosa
Island (est. 1949), and Prisoners' Harbor Yacht Club, Santa Cruz Island
(1973).
All Eight Club burgee
The most recent island flag to be created is that of the All Eight Club,
established in 1994, to honor those men and women who have set foot on all
eight California Channel Islands. The two lines of four white stars represent
the northern and southern islands, and all members are sanctioned to fly the
club burgee. More people have visited the International Space Station than
have walked upon all eight islands!
Marilyn Goodfield’s burgee exhibit will provide a warm welcome to all who
enter! We invite all island aficionados to become a part of the Chrisman
California Islands Center. Stay tuned for information about the most
extraordinary bathroom south of the Madonna Inn!
