KZN: A Photographic Historical Record

Sport & Sports Clubs

The Durban Regatta Club was formed in 1858 on the Bay of Natal. In 1891 the Club was granted a Royal Charter and renamed The Royal Natal Yacht Club. The Club has had a few homes, the first of which was built in 1892 and fronted directly onto the bay alongside Harry Escombe's residence. The second club house was in Fenton Lane (1900), and in 1990 moved to its present site back on the waters edge. This album has images of the present Club House interior and exterior and many images of the honours boards and memorabilia contained therein.
