Graffiti and plaque

Along the quay at the far end of the Western Gap, there is a tiny piece of graffiti:

This is near the National Yacht Club, where I learned to sail originally, and later took some piloting and celestial navigation courses.  Here's their plaque out front:

Reads: THE NATIONAL YACHT CLUB
A group of enthusiasts from the West End Boating Club (c. 1890) obtained
an act of incorporation for the National Yacht and Skiff Club in 1894.  From
its inception the club was known for competitive sailing, with some members
designing and building their own boats.  Others were particularly successful
competing in 14-foot dinghies under the rules of the Lake Skiff Sailing Association,
of which the National was an early member.  In the late 1920s, the club became the
centre for hyrdroplane racing.  More recently, it became the home of ocean
cruisers and world and Olympic class racing sailors.  First located on the
Queen's Wharf, at the foot of Bathurst Street, the club relocated in 1918 to
Toronto Harbour Commission land created by the reconstruction of the
Western Gap.  The present clubhouse was constructed in 1988.
