But for as long as people have been around here, Port Gardner has also been a place for pleasure and recreation. Everett Yacht Club, which turned 100 over the summer, recently published "Everett Yacht Club Centennial: 1907-2007," an 87-page book piecing together the club's history with dozens of photos, historical documents and newspaper clippings. The book gives a decade-by- decade snapshot of the club's history from the exploits of the early wooden sloops "Rival" and "Myth" to modern luxurious motor yachts "Royal C," "Siesta," and "Haven." Everett historian David Dilgard calls the book a welcome, timely and appropriate way to mark Everett Yacht Club's milestone. "The history of the club does more than parallel the history of the city -- they are woven inextricably together," he wrote in the book's forward. "The men and women who have comprised the organization over the years reflect in very specific ways the fabric of Everett's social and economic life, from its infancy as a 'City of Smokestacks' through its present role as the hometown of the 'Jumbo Jet.'" Much has changed in the last hundred years, from the vessels that yacht-club members cruise to the cocktails they drink. One thing has remained steady: their love for boating. -- David Chircop Everett Yacht Club Centennial book Cost: $35 Info: 425-359-6221 or visit Everett Yacht Club, 404 14th Street Wednesday evenings at 5 p.m.
