This photograph is the only known picture of Rotary International Founder Paul Harris' visit to Clearwater in 1937.  The image below is a reproduction of a single composite negative provided by Dave Perkins, and digitized by Steve Carlisle.  The boat belonged to Rotarian Fred James and the photos were taken at the old Clearwater Yacht Club which was located on Mandalay Avenue across the street from the present fire station (where the new pool is now).

The caption at the top of the image reads:

"Pictures taken Saturday afternoon, February 20th, 1937, while Paul  Harris, founder of Rotary, was making an informal visit to Clearwater as guest of Jessie and Alfred Marshall."
