Could everyone write one simple essay about something that once happened in Saltaire…that they saw or were a part of…and put it on one big website? Somebody should collect a lot of stories before we all forget. Otherwise it is like a line in “On The Beach” : The history of the war that now would never be written.” -(JO'H)

GREAT MOMENTS IS SALTAIRE HISTORY: COMMODORE SCANLAN SHOCKS SALTAIRE YACHT CLUB CROWD BY EASING DRESS RULES, 1969

"CRUISE WEAR" for men and (OMIGOSH) PANTS SUITS FOR LADIES were first permitted in the SYC in 1969. That old Harry Scanlan was a real sixties revolutionary, wasn't he?

That and some other news from the July 11, 1969 SALTY SPRAY:


P.S. we hear that lately Saltaire Young 'uns on their own are starting to adapt to pre-Scanlan dress codes on Big Nites Out at the Club.
