Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Shire (Sutherland Shire), and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I remember the lapping of water on the hulls of the rowing boats, and the smell of the boats, tied up here in the 50's.

And a nice shot of the radiator of a Hudson Super-Six from about 1925.

According to STANFORD CREW HISTORY 1893-1956, by G. Wayne Dow [ www.gdow.net/pdffiles/crewhist.pdf ], Seward was Varsity captain of Stanford Crew in 1912. Also, page 453 of Cornell Alumni News [ ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/3529/3/014_38... ] indicates that Cornell lent Stanford and Capt. Seward its coaching launch in 1912. A Cornell launch is certainly in the other picture, www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2890283224/in/p... .

See also www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163148987/ . That picture looks like the first three or four (from the left) in this one. According to NYT at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F04E6DE113AE633A..., the crew is Olmsted (bow), Beale, Smith, Watkins, Duryea, Walford, Seward , Partridge (stroke), and Guerena (cox)

This is crew, not swimming. Note the coxswain.

Most of these men appear to be much older than normal university age.

The cox will be the small guy in the front center. H. B. Kimball could be the Henry Joseph Kimball described at history.nycourts.gov/biography/henry-j-kimball/
The photo is from much later, but plausible. The dates of his time at Cornell certainly match.

I’ve just found that Shorpy posted this photo and got plenty of comments, including some with identification help
