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.

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!

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.

majestic!
Horatio J. Kookaburra said:
Sorry, the date 1949 must be amiss: this is pre AUSTRALIA's April 1938- Sept. 1939 modernization, which changed the bridge considerably [installed spliunter shields], and she still has pole masts [replaced by tripods, mid-WWII]. Maybe an earlier regatta or the sesquicentenary in 1938? LATER: again sorry - round scuttles on the compass platform. It's HMAS CANBERRA [I] not AUSTRALIA [square windows there pre-WWI]I. She's wearing an admiral flag on the foremast too, which tallies - CANBERRA was flagship for most of the 1930s.
