Rowers
As a former eight myself I find myself wondering about a couple of things Alex will appreciate.
1. When did the sliding seat come into use.
2. That's one BIG coxie
3. I guess 6 seat can't work that hard if he needs a big sweater like that, and how does he keep it from getting in his way.

Rowing history
Please keep coming with these historic rowing photographs. As a former eight oar shell rower in the sixties I like them very much!
@Anonymous Rower, about Sliding Seats
The invention of sliding seats is generally credited to John C. Babcock of the Nassau Boat Club in New York, who used them on a single in 1857 and on a six-oar in 1870.
