Originally known as the Community Boat Club, this is the oldest public sailing program in the country. It was founded in 1937 by Joseph Lee, Jr. as a summer program for the children of the West End neighborhood; the boats sailed from a pier near Massachusetts General Hospital. The children also helped to build the boats in the winter; the structured activities filled an important need for many young urban residents. Community Boating expanded to offer programs to metropolitan Boston residents of all ages, and became the largest program of its kind in the country.
