Commodore Ferguson

Oct 25

Walton Ferguson served the Stamford Yacht Club as Rear Commodore (1897-1898), Vice Commodore (1899-1903) and Commodore (1904-1907), and later returned for an additional year as Rear Commodore (1911). His tenure as a flag officer exceeds that of any other SYC member by at least four years.
