Looking Back Charles Murphy

Here’s to… It’s the season for toasts. We express our hope for health and happiness, for love and leisure, and for fair winds and fairer yard fees. In that spirit let’s raise a glass to the man whose vision and work nearly a century and a half ago created the Club we enjoy today. Few yacht clubs can point to a founder with a resume like that of W. L. Alden: lawyer, newspaper man, editorialist, short story writer, essayist, novelist, sailing enthusiast, club organizer, executive and diplomat. In all these areas he gained honor and fame both at home and abroad. The surname brings to mind the famous John Alden of Colonial America, whose celebrated proposal of marriage to Priscilla came only after she chided him to, “Speak for yourself, John.” In fact he was a direct descendent of the well-known couple. His father was an academic, president of Jefferson College in Massachusetts when John was graduated, and later president of what is now SUNY Albany. Following his graduation in 1858, he read the law and practiced in Massachusetts. After four years he moved to New York and began his career as a newspaper man. After stints at The World and the Daily Graphic he eventually became an editorial writer for The New York Times. From 1874 to 1885 he wrote editorials—lively, trenchant, humorous—that were so popular that two collections were published in book form. But even before achieving recognition at The Times, Alden was making his name writing both fiction and non-fiction. For young readers he wrote several novels such as The Cruise of the Ghost. In non-fiction he wrote a biography of Columbus and contributed essays to magazines such as Harpers, to which for four years, he also wrote a series of adventure stories. Also, for Harper’s, he published “The Perfect Canoe” (it was yawl-rigged) which highlighted the interest that would dominate his life for many years. By the late 1860s Alden had developed a keen interest in the sailing canoe. He saw in the sailing canoe a “yacht” that could be owned and sailed by the average man. Then in 1870 he brought over from the Royal Canoe Club a Nautilus sailing canoe. This vessel became the archetype of the canoes to follow. In 1871 he, along with several fellow canoe sailors, founded the New York Canoe Club. The Times wrote that in doing so he “set off a craze (for canoe sailing) that spread across the country,” reaching as far as the Mississippi River. Although his is the first name recorded in the 1871 minutes of the Club’s founding meeting, he did not accept the Commodoreship, probably because he was working to spread the gospel of canoe sailing across the state and beyond. He did, however, serve as the Club’s fourth Commodore in 1874 and 1875. His importance to the sport was such that he was chosen Commodore of the newly founded American Canoe Association as well. Although he began with the English Nautilus Canoe, he soon designed his own canoe, the Shadow. Ultimately he was recognized in the Times obituary as “the father of modern (sail) canoeing in this country.” Later in his live, he was named American Consul General in Rome. After serving in this post, where he was honored by King Humbert, he moved to Paris, where he wrote as foreign correspondent to the Herald, and then to London, where his books and articles gave him entre into London literary life. Late in his stay in London, according to his Jefferson College obituary, an appeal for funds appeared in a London newspaper, noting that he was gravely ill and lacked sufficient funds for the necessary surgery. Literary London—in the persons of J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan; Rudyard Kipling, the famous poet and novelist; and Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, all expressed support. The details of the matter remain murky. However, after he returned to the U.S. Alden said that he did not authorize the appeal and that he had not been penniless. If nothing else, the response to the article indicated the high esteem with which he was held in English literary circles. After returning to America, he moved to Buffalo to live with his daughter. He died there in 1907. Today, few readers are aware of Alden’s books. Our last sailing canoe was laid to rest in Mystic Seaport and Museum fifty years ago. Yet the great achievement of William L. Alden—our Club—remains, a tribute to his vision and his values. And so, I give you: William L. Alden. Questions or comments: [email protected]
