St. Louis Rowing Club 128 Years Old and Still Growing Chartered in 1875, the St. Louis Rowing Club flourished until the mid-50's. It occupied one of nine large clubhouses that lined the Mississippi River. These facilities were complete with boat and equipment storage areas, hot showers, meeting and dining rooms and dance floors. The St. Louis Rowing Club also had a gym that was used by members and by amateur and professional boxers and wrestlers, as well as a bowling alley. In the 20's the club had as many as 800 members. In the early years of the century, regattas were held on Creve Coeur Lake. Turn-around races were watched from a large elevated boardwalk and viewing stands on the east side of the lake. Regional championships were sponsored by the Central States Amateur Rowing Association and the Southwestern Amateur Rowing Association, then based in St. Louis. The rowing events of the 1904 Olympics were also held on the lake. St. Louis oarsman Gus Voerg won a bronze medal in the straight four event during the Olympics. By the mid-30's regattas were also being held on the Mississippi River between Poplar Street and the Eads Bridges. At the outbreak of World War II, 35 St. Louis Rowing Club members joined the armed forces and the clubhouse was donated to the Naval Electrical School to be used as a recreational facility. In 1945, the building was returned to the club with a commendation from the Naval Department for the patriotic gesture of donating its building to the war effort.

Home Contact Us Search About the ORC ... Photo Album Our Long History In the Beginning The Ottawa Rowing Club was officially established in Kavanagh s Saloon, on June 7, 1867, 21 days before Confederation. The ORC s first slate of officers was considered more distinguished than the site of its inaugural meeting. Sir John A. MacDonald, who was about to become Canada s first prime minister, had agreed to be club president, and the mayor of Ottawa was one of four vice-presidents. The Club has kept this tradition by naming the Prime Minister and Mayor of Ottawa as honorary President and Vice-President. By 1867, professional rowing was firmly established in Canada. And, as more and more Canadians stroked their way to international victory, public enthusiasm for the sport grew. The early years of the ORC reflected the spirit of the times. Newspaper accounts of the Club s Annual Regattas in 1868 and 1869 show that they were major sporting and social events, attracting athletes and spectators from across Ontario and from Montreal. Hanlan Visits Ottawa On July 1, 1881 the great Canadian rower Ned Hanlan fresh from his 1880 world championship victory over Edward Trickett of Australia, visited Ottawa as an invited official at a regatta to celebrate the 14th anniversary of Confederation. About 10,000 people turned out to see top international scullers, including Trickett, match blades in a professional singles race. The event was won by News Brunswick

Central Florida's Premier Rowing Club for Masters From the development of the concept of an oar working against a fulcrum (sometime after 1000 B.C.) until the present, rowing has been an efficient means of transportation. In the past 500 years whale boats, captains' gigs, surf rescue boats, ferrymen, fishermen and many others have turned to oar-propelled boats. And from the beginning, anytime there were two or more boats, sooner or later there was a race, whether for business, for honor, or purely for the sport of it. Rowing began to develop as a sport in the early 19th century. In England, boys at Eton were racing in eights by 1811, and the first Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge was held in 1829. In the United States, the first boat club appeared in New York harbor in 1834, while a Yale student began intramural college rowing with the purchase of a second-hand Whitehall boat for $ 29.50 in 1843. Soon rowing had spread across the country. The Detroit Boat Club (founded in 1839) has the honor of being the oldest club in the country still active in the sport. The Schuylkill Navy was organized in 1858 by the Philadelphia boat clubs, and is the oldest sporting organization still in existence. As the country's population began to move to the cities following the Civil War, they soon seized upon sports and outdoor activities to fill their free time. Leading the way were horse racing and boat racing, the latter involving amateurs, professionals and college students. Regattas increase in number form 10 or 12 before the Civil War to over 150 in 1872, and were held from Savannah to Sacramento and Maine to Milwaukee. By 1873, there were 289 rowing clubs, 74 in New York, 12 in Georgia, 14 in Michigan, 5 in Iowa and 14 in California.

Brownielocks and The 3 Bears Present Cartoon Fun and The History of the Olympics Since the Olympic games go way back to the early Greeks, to do an entire history on one page is a bit overwhelming. So, I'll give you a brief summation of how it all began, and then provide some further links for additional information. So, how and why did it all begin? In ancient Greece, they often combined religious festivals with sporting events, to honor certain gods. The Greeks held the following: The Pythian Games The Nemean Games The Isthmian Games The Olympic Games It was the last one, the Olympics, that were held for the Greek God Zeus and were also the most popular with the people. The first game is said to be held at Olympia, Greece in 776 B.C. and has been held every 4 years since = 1,168 years! Then, Greece came under the rule of the Roman Empire and the Olympic games were declined, to the point where they actually declined in 393 B.C. by the Christian Roman Emperor, Theodosius I, who objected to what he felt were some "pagan rites" associated with the games. In the beginning, the Olympic games were confined to just one day and one event. That event was a footrace that was the length of the stadium. Soon, additional races were added as the popularity grew, as well as discus and javelin throws (tosses), broad jumps, boxing, wrestling, chariot racing and a pentathlon. The pentathlon was composed of 5 different track and field competitions.

Home Racing Shells Custom Products Support ... Contacts The History of Pocock Racing Shells Pocock Racing Shells was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1911 and has been an integral part of nearly 100 years of American rowing. The roots of the company, however, began in England - the birthplace of shell building and racing - back in the 1800s... George Pocock (1891-1976) George Pocock grew up in England, where his father was the head boat builder for prestigious Eton College at Windsor around the turn of the century. As a young man, George raced single shells on the famed Thames River. At one of these races he won £50 and with the money purchased passage for himself and his brother, Dick, on a cattle boat bound for Canada. In 1911, on George's 20th birthday, they arrived in Vancouver, British Columbia, with $20 in their pockets and a dream of building fine racing boats. They rented the Vancouver Rowing Club's boathouse, without moorage, and found that at low tide they rested precariously on the mud flats. During the ensuing year, they nearly starved. Help arrived in the midst of a winter gale when Hiram Conibear, then coach of the University of

Lake Lanier Olympic Legacy Gold It was a cry first heard in North Georgia in the 1800's. It was a cry heard again in the summer of 1996 as competitors in rowing, canoeing, and kayaking brought Olympic glory to a scenic lake not far from the hills in which prospectors first discovered gold. Building From Local Support. What became an Olympic success story began in the mind of Gainesville architect Jack Pyburn . A rower himself, he knew Lake Sidney Lanier would be an ideal location for the rowing venue. The idea gained momentum as Jim Mathis , a dedicated community leader, pitched in to work on building the community support network needed to make the dream into reality. Early in 1993, a steering committee of 45 community leaders was formed and became known as "Gainesville-Hall '96," an official Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games support group. This group of dedicated volunteers began a campaign of "polite persistence," as Atlanta Olympics chief Billy Payne described it in his remarks at the groundbreaking ceremony in January 1995.

In 776 BC he was drawn into a treaty with Ifitos and Cleisthenes the King of Pissa . The treaty was reaffirmed every four years at a meeting which featured a race between the three Greek provinces. The four year period was an Olympiad. The Games endured for twelve continuous centuries. The races and sports were held at Olympia and gradually became very ceremonial, attracting huge crowds from all over Greece. When the Games were abolished in 393 A.D. their collapse symbolised the final decay of Ancient Greece.

History of the NHRC Competitive rowing in racing shells has been a part of America's athletic scene for over 100 years. Harvard and Yale carry on their rowing battles every June on the Thames or the Charles Rivers, high schools and colleges boat their best oarsmen and oarswomen in fall and spring to vie for their respective championships, and independent rowing clubs challenge each other to rowing duels as often as an occasion can be conjured up. In 1970, Yale Rowing coach, Tony Johnson, had a problem. During the academic year he worked with many qualified oarsmen, but, when classes stopped he had no formal program to continue their training. He wanted to build a program wherein the better collegiate rowers and selected post-collegiate rowers could train throughout the summer. Only an intense schedule of rigorous racing workouts and technical sessions could prepare these rowers for U.S. National and Olympic Rowing Team tryouts. Being an ingenious fellow, he founded the New Haven Rowing Club. As a club, he could carry on organized practices and races all year long. His problem was solved. His crews competed in the 1970 and 1971 National Team trials and in the Olympic Team trials of 1972. Since then, New Haven Rowing Club teams have won many national and international honors.

Photo taken ca. 1934. U pon the heels of the Olympic Games, the original Long Beach Rowing Club (later the Long Beach Rowing Association) was formed by twenty five Long Beach businessmen dedicated to promoting rowing in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area. Clyde Doyle, Chair of the City Recreation Committee was the club's first temporary president, and Keith Enloe was elected as the first official president. The club purchased several of the shells left by the Japanese and German Olympic crews. Long Beach High School, Wilson High School, Long Beach Junior College and UCLA all immediately embarked on rowing programs. All the high school crews were coached by Pete Archer (1904-2001) through the Long Beach Recreation Commission, which of course put Pete in the comfortable position of never being the losing coach. Omnipresent and tireless, Pete also coached the recreational classes for men and women. Throughout the thirties, Pete's Jr. rowers became national champions and many went on to row with the great California crews of that era.

POLISH ROWING ASSOCIATION HISTORY The begining of modern rowing goes back to the times before our era. We can find it in Polynesia, in Africa, Arabian countries, Ancient Romes, Greeks, Turks. The style of rowing was similar to the present canoeing or modern rowing but with longer oars. The trading and war ships had for example this kind of method of powering the boats. This specific form of rowing was used in gondoles. First regatta of gondoles took place in Venezia in 1315. The modern rowing has begun many years ago in England, where well regulated rivers and canals made the water transport possible which itself developed after Thamese was regulated in the first half of XVI century. Large number of rowing units caused a lot of collisions. That's why king Henry VIII began to issue licences - up to 5.000 of them. The exams, and rowing shows connected with those exams, led to development of the basics of rowing regatta rules. At first a large majority of participants in the regatta came from a poor neighbourhood like that of carriers. In 1715 an event took place where the price was stood by London's actor - Dogget. In the first half of XVIII century there was a large number of regatta with participation of those water carriers. In 1791 the regatta with the participation of professional carriers took place - equivalent to todays single scullers, and a year earlier in Petersburg - an event where Navy Cadets took part in.
