Our History

There's been a few postings on the Row2k website about an ambitious project Peter Mallory has taken up: he's writing a book that traces the evolution of the rowing stroke from at least as far back as Ned Hanlan in the late 19th Century. There are two chapters from his manuscript available on Row2k starting here. I urge you to read them, they're quite compelling if you have any interest whatsoever in the history of rowing. He is also asking for video footage and books that might be able to help him in his writing. His website is here, and you can find the stuff he's looking for under the "Wish List" tab.
