Wikipedia has nothing to say about the Corsair Club, although it was the subject of at least one report in the commercially-controlled media (a 1913 article in the New York Times).[1]

In 1881, J. P. Morgan bought the Corsair, 185-foot luxury yacht. In 1890 he commissioned the 241-foot Corsair II and in 1898 the 304-foot Corsair III.[2]
Membership
J. P. Morgan is the presumed founder member of the club. The 1913 NYT article mentions Chauncey Depew. Tthe banker and railroad executive Charles D. Lanier was as member.[3][4]
Exposure
The group became publicised to outsiders when J. Pierpont Morgan died, since in his will he left silver souvenirs, of the value $1,000 each, to "the members of the Corsair Club at the time of my death."[5]
Dates
It is unknown whether the group continued after J. P. Morgan's death in 1913.
