"On January 12, 1892 a group of 13 men, former members of The Philadelphia
Yacht Club which had been taken over a few years earlier by
The Quaker City
Yacht Club, held a meeting at the Bullitt Building in Philadelphia. They felt
dissatisfied with the state of affairs at The Quaker City Yacht Club as a result
of schisms developing among the members and occasioned by undignified acts by
some members. There also developed and incompatibility between people of
different social and professional standing. During this period a change in the
size of the yachts was taking place with larger seagoing yachts overtaking the
then prevalent smaller 20' to 40' vessels. This meeting concluded with a
resolution recommending the advisability of breaking away from The Quaker City
Yacht Club and forming a new club. A month later, in February 1892, a charter
was approved and a certificate of incorporation was issued for the newly formed
Corinthian Yacht Club of Philadelphia. (CYCOP).”

In 1903 and 1917, and probably other editions as well, the same flag is shown
in Lloyd's Register of American Yachts.
