Lloyd's Register of American Yacht, editions of 1917 and 1963 list two different burgees for club(s) of this name. It is not certain if they are the same club, or unrelated.

Baldwin Harbor Yacht Club (Lloyds 1917)

Lloyd's Register of American Yacht, of 1917, lists the Baldwin Harbor Yacht Club, as organised and incorporated in 1916; its station is given as Baldwin Harbor, Long Island, N.Y. -- Great South Bay.

Its burgee is depicted as a ca. 2:3 triangular field divided per white saltire red over blue.

Baldwin Harbor Yacht Club (Lloyds 1963)

In the 1963 edition of Lloyds, a different Baldwin Harbor Yacht Club is listed, which is established in 1954, with a clubhouse in Freeport, N.Y., for which a different burgee is shown.

This burgee is a ca. 2:3 yellow triangle with a block letter B, half the hoist height and a quarter of the hoist wide, a quarter of the hoist a way from the hoist, and a blue five-pointed star, its outer circle centred and a quarter of the hoist in diameter.

The name is currently listed in several commercial indexes as a marina, in Freeport New York, but that doesn't tell us whether the second club still exists.
