Description
-
The openweight men's four pushes off from the dock as they launch for practice prior to the Head of the Charles. Here is visible the wooden makeup of the shell and oars. Wood was the primary material for shell construction before the introduction of lighter fiberglass and later, carbon fiber composites. The oars used would also have been "spoons" as opposed to the "hatchets" used today.
