The Universities Boat-Race: from Hammersmith Bridge, 1895. Creator: Stearn
The Universities Boat-Race: from Hammersmith Bridge, 1895. Annual rowing race on the River Thames in London. It was an unequal contest from the beginning...No one could have anticipated success for Cambridge against one of the finest Varsity eights that ever wore the dark blue colours at Putney. The Cantabs, though given up as hopeless by the public, and even by their friends, were far from being dispirited by the overwhelming odds against them, and, to their infinite credit be it said, they made the fifty-second contest memorable by one of the pluckiest exhibitions of oarsmanship ever seen on the Thames... Racing from the Suspension Bridge at Hammersmith, Cambridge then probably made the finest effort of the day, and as they passed under the shadow of the structure it could be seen that Oxford were leading by just the length of their boat. So far it had been a battle of giants, and there was nothing really to tell, excepting to the trained eye of the expert, that Oxford were the superior crew. Just above Hammersmith daylight began to show between the boats, but it was only momentarily...the official ruling was a victory for the Dark Blues by two and a quarter lengths, and the time 20 min. 50 sec.'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
