Warburton family

Major Barclay Harding Warburton I (April 1, 1866 − December 5, 1954) was the publisher of the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

[4] He was elected Mayor of Palm Beach, Florida in 1928, and resigned in 1929 to return to manage EF Hutton office in Philadelphia.

[1] Barclay Harding Warburton II (June 15, 1898 − November 26, 1936) was an American socialite, farmer, aviator and member of the Hoover Commission in Poland.

He said that his shotgun had accidentally fired while he was climbing a fence while hunting for pheasant at his Saracen Farm near in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

Having gotten as halfway to Panama, better senses got hold of him and he returned to the Bahamas, where he settled in at Lyford Cay and built several houses during his years there over by Clifton Dock.

As the Bahamas went independent Buzz went up to Newport and started the Black Pearl restaurant, remarking at the time, "well we need someplace decent to eat".

The Black Pearl was never a financial success for Buzz, but it is got him a huge amount of recognition and he had every folk singer and blue grass picker in the place every weekend.

In 1984 he joined with Brook Phillips Lacour to pioneer the villa vacation model as an alternative to staying in hotels beginning in St. Barthelemy as an owner of West Indies Management Company (WIMCO Villas and Hotels), headquartered in Newport, with the purpose of renting vacation homes in prime locations while not occupied by their owners.

[24] This proved successful, and the company quickly moved on to St Martin, Anguilla, Nevis, Barbados, Mustique, and then into the South of France, Italy and Greece, as well as Nantucket, Hawaii, and Mexico.

Warburton sailed with his father regularly, and joined him in Opsail ’64, New York, Tall Ships '72, Cowes, Malmo and Travemünde, and then again in '76 from Newport–Bermuda–New York–Boston.

Warburton has raced as navigator aboard the 65 ft yawl "Nirvana", participating in such events as 1986 Statue of Liberty celebrations, 1994 New York Yacht Club Sesquicentennial and the 2001 America's Cup Jubilee in Cowes, winning the Antigua Classic Race Week in 2005.

Warburton has served as a director of the Newport Music Festival, and the American Sail Training Association (Tall Ships).
