The Homestead Power Squadron, a unit of the United States Power Squadron, a national organization committed to “Boating Safety thru Education”, was chartered December l, 1954. It was the intention of a group of 16 local business men and residents to form this organization for the purpose of teaching SAFE BOATING to any and all persons interested. This has certainly been accomplished many times over. Many residents of South Dade have taken the classes in piloting, seamanship, weather and navigation.
