Although only 60 years old itself, the club’s property has a history dating to 1732. Since the arrival of European settlers in the area, Melville Island has been a family estate, hospital, quarantine station, military prison, prisoner of war camp, recruit training station for the British Foreign Legion, ammunition depot and most recently a yacht club.
