    Cornell University crew on the Hudson River. Men's eight oarsmen boat. The photo is dated 1912. In the date range of the collection (1910-1915), Cornell won varsity 8 in 1910, 1911, and 1912. Not clear if this is training, or preparing for the annual championship at Poughkeepsie. In the background is the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge (which is planned to reopen by Oct 2009 as a pedestrian bridge). According to Bridging the Hudson, a rail signalman would stand on the bridge and use flags to show who was winning the Intercollegiate Rowing Association's annual championship on the Hudson. The race, the Poughkeepsie Regata, has recently been revived by the Hudson River Rowing Association. Framing the photo with this bridge in the background would give interested readers a clear sense of place.
