House of Refuge at Gilbert's Bar

The Georges Valentine Shipwreck Site is the site of the historic shipwreck of an Italian barkentine off the coast of Hutchinson Island in Martin County, Florida, with the nearest landmark being the House of Refuge at Gilbert's Bar. The iron-hulled barque was built in Wallasey, England in 1869 by Bowdler Chaffer & Company for S. Meyers & Company. Originally christened Cape Clear with Lloyd's of London in 1870, she started her career as a screw steamboat with auxiliary sail carrying passengers on the Australia - Liverpool run. She was purchased by a French firm based in Bordeaux in 1889, re-christened Georges Valentine and turned into a sailing bark by being stripped of all steam machinery except the boiler. Rigged as a three-masted barkentine, she was then sold to a firm based in Dunkirk, northern France. In 1895, she was sold to Mortolo & Simonetti, based in Genoa, Italy. She was based in Camogli, northern Italy and transported lumber regularly from Pensacola, Florida to South America. In October 1904, the Georges Valentine, with a crew of twelve men commanded by Captain Prospero Mortolo, sailed with a load of milled mahogany from Pensacola bound for Buenos Aires. On 13 October 1904 the ship sighted Havana, Cuba, but she later hit a storm in the Florida Straits and was blown up the Atlantic coast of Florida where on 16 October 1904, despite her crew's attempts to keep her in deeper water, she ran aground in shallow water and wrecked off Hutchinson Island near Gilbert's Bar. Five crew members perished. Their bodies were not recovered. The seven survivors found refuge at the House of Refuge just 100 yards from the wreck site, where the House of Refuge's keeper, Captain William E. Rea, rendered aid to them.On 19 July 2006, the Georges Valentine Shipwreck Site was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. On 16 October 2006, it became the eleventh Florida Underwater Archaeological Preserve.

Stuart Yacht & Country Club is a gated community and country club in Stuart, Florida, United States. Established in 1969 as the first golf-course community in Martin County, homes were built first, followed two years later by the golf course, designed by Charles Martyn. The golf course, which is par-71, 6,574 yards, was redesigned in 2020 by Tom Pearson, who worked for Jack Nicklaus Design for over thirty years. Part of his redesign made a couple of the par-5 holes over 600 yards long.The course hosted tournaments in 1971 and 1972 that featured the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Perry Como and Sam Snead. The pro-am events raised money for the Stamp Out Drug Abuse campaign. To prepare for the tournaments, the club built a new main entrance on State Route A1A and installed a guardhouse that is staffed 24 hours per day. Almost forty coconut palms and ficus trees were planted, to improve curb appeal.The club's last surviving founder member of the original twenty, Evans Crary Jr., turned 90 in 2020. He hit the ceremonial tee shot to mark the opening of the new course. A bridge in the city, crossing the St. Lucie River, is named for him. Crary did not plan on becoming a member of the Yacht & Country Club. He said its developer had lined up the original members to pay $15,000 to finance the club in 1968, but one of them pulled out just before the deal could be completed. His brother convinced him to withdraw the necessary funds. He left the club in 1983 but returned 23 years later, currently lives about 100 yards from the eighth green.The golf club's head golf professional is Dean Lawson.

Sewall built it in 1889 at the southern tip of Sewall's Point, the peninsula and town which bear his family name. When Capt.

Sewall also built a freight dock that extended into the St. Lucie River along with a storage building at its end.In 1910, Capt Sewall and his wife Abbie (Evans) Sewall built a larger house higher up on the property and in 1913 the 1889 house was moved by barge across the St. Lucie River to a waterfront lot on what is now Old St. Lucie Boulevard in Port Sewall (now part of Stuart), where it stood until being moved by barge to Indian RiverSide Park in 2007. During its stay in Port Sewall the present small rectangular cupola was added to the roof of the house. During Prohibition, green or red lanterns were hung in the cupola to signal incoming bootleggers whether it was safe or not for them to offload their cargoes of alcohol.In 2008 the building was moved to its permanent location within Indian Riverside Park.
