Early history[edit]

The Havana Yacht Club was founded and funded by Joseph White-Todd in 1885.[1]

The Havana Yacht Club was located near the coastline of the Marianao Beach in Havana, Cuba.[2] The social club organized regattas and other nautical events.[3]

Following the 1959 Revolution, it was renamed the Julio Antonio Mella Worker's Social Club, also known as the Circulo Social Julio Antonio Mella, in 1961.
