  [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I would say say so too. Which makes it 26/1/1933, Anniversary Day via research here - particularly to the "Sea Serpent" in this article - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16948458 Looks like the gas holder at Neutral Bay (the black thing centre left), and the Harbour Bridge northern approach arches (left distance). Mr Hood must have been on Cremorne Point looking west. GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/1u6dD

  Very appropriate - I love the candid interviews from the O'Donovan brothers. Good luck to both crews.

  Very timely indeed! Best of luck to today's rowers. I might take a look at the the newspaper archives tonight to see if I can find anything on this particular regatta. The Munster Express has a note that the winning junior fours team included one L. P. Ridgeway:

  L. P. Ridgeway was part of a winning Junior Fours crew in 1901. The team won many trophies and on one occasion each crew member was presented with a rose bowl. Nothing more was heard of this story until 2003, when a Reverent Ridgeway from South Africa contacted the club. This man was the son of L. P. Ridgeway and had in his possession the rose bowl, which was now 103 years old. The Reverent Ridgeway is now in the process of presenting the rose bowl to the Waterford Boat Club

  My very adult son rows. It's a wonderful sport and it's not only for the young. Great view.
