Social & cultural history; Rowing

This book seeks to redress the balance of reporting in the sport's literature which has always favoured the

activities of aquatic gentlemen at the public schools, Oxford and Cambridge Universities, Henley Regatta and on the River Thames. This study focuses on the many who helped instigate and nurture the sport but who have been forgotten due to their not being associated with the elite of the sport.
