    fantastic! I just love your photos, I didn't realize how much I loved ships and boats.

    Vivienne Strauss Haha thanks Vivenne (belatedly)! Glad to have awakened a love of all things maritime. We love these rowing photos especially :)

    No mean feat in an era when shells weighed much more than today's carbon fiber boats!
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    The Happy Rower Absolutely! They were very fit ladies :) You might be interested in our Signals article on Trixie and the Lady Rowers of the Y.

Sydney Rowing Club Fours and a single scull training on the Parramatta River, Sydney

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  • Swordscookie said:
    A four and a single scull in this one. The scull would be much quicker off the mark but the four would wear him down after a couple of hundred yard. Great though for each to practice their starts beside each other.

    Swordscookie Nice to see you again! Thanks for the info we've updated our records :)

    Sailing canoe race? These canoes where the first recorded planning sailboats.
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    Dale Well spotted, aren't they wonderful looking little craft? Our vessels curator agrees with you, in fact in the Evening News Article, 16 December 1895, the results of a canoe race is mentioned.

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons The same source gives the prizes for all the races on the day. No wonder the skipper is smiling, he might have won £3 or around $500 today
