Description
The history of Philadelphia's Boathouse Row is both wide and deep. Dotty Brown explores this rich subject in her comprehensive history of rowing in Philadelphia, delving into archives to uncover the stories behind the iconic boathouses. From the era when rowing was a spectator sport to the fight for women's access to the water, Brown takes readers on a journey through the "waves of change" that shaped the sport. The book features over 160 photographs, including many in full color, which bring to life the architectural one-upmanship and regattas that continue to take place today. Beautifully written and illustrated, Boathouse Row is a detailed and engaging history that will be of interest to both rowers and spectators alike.
