Skelmorlie Bowling Club Flagpole

The flagpole at the club is the topmast of the 1895 America Cup contender Valkyrie III Link

, presented to the club in 1902. A plate on the mast commemorates this event as follows...

Topmast of

America Cup Racer. 1895.
Pole, Rigging, Flag etc.
Presented to the club.

A framed photograph of the yacht and her crew on the Firth of Clyde hangs in the clubhouse.

The flagpole stood at the opposite corner of the green until 1995, at which time it was moved to make way for development of the clubhouse.
