Description	Family and friends on the Ethlywayne boat
Caption	"Family and friends gather for the launching of Dan E. Kennedy's Ethlywayne in front of Kennedy's Morgan's Point summer home. A Houston businessman and former Texas Ranger, Kennedy was elected the first commodore of the Houston Yacht Club on February 2, 1898. He was the son of Houston pioneer settler John Kennedy, who built what is now the oldest structure in Houston, the Kennedy Bakery Building in Market Square. Dan Kennedy is shown here wearing the bowler hat. His wife Amelia is standing to the left. The house, minus the red and white shingled turrets, still exists on this site, 427 Bay Ridge. An original print from this negative is in possession of the Kennedy family." --Exhibition print caption
