	Sport Rowing
		The relative obscurity of rowing has helped it develop an introspective atmosphere, where long hours, early mornings on the river, and the physical pain of the event are the price of being a part of the rowing community.
		Rowing boats (or similar vessels) have been around for centuries, but before the 18th century, there is little mention of boat races.
		An oar is often referred to as a "blade" in the case of sweep oar rowing and as a "scull" in the case of sculling.

	Mercantile Rowing Club
		Mercantile was founded on 19th September 1880 at a meeting for interested oarsmen and arranged by our first Captain William Boyd at the Young and Jackson’s Hotel.
		The group who formed the Club had a common interest in their association with the various mercantile warehouses established in Melbourne primarily in Flinders Street and Flinders Lane.
		Most involved had a previous association with the Warehousemen’s Rowing Club and so the initial name of the Club was the Junior Warehousemen’s Rowing Club.

	The Friends' School - About Us - The Boat Club
		In the early years, the boat shed and facilities of the Derwent Rowing Club, and then the Mercantile Rowing Club at Cornelian Bay, were used.
		It is interesting to note that the 1963 Echoes records that, “….the rowing programme was held up for several weeks at the beginning of the first term, owing to the silting up of New Town Bay in front of the Buckingham Rowing Club’s sheds, from where the School crews were operating.”
		Rowing supporters raised £2,500.00 which was approximately half the cost of the materials for the shed.

	Mercantile Rowing Club - Australian Rowing History
		The centennial history of the Club, Mercantile - A Century of Rowing, was written and published in 1980.
		This history of the Mercantile Rowing Club, prepared for publication on the occasion of the Club's centenary is, as the name implies a record of the founding of the Club and of its activities both on and off the water for the first hundred years of its existence.
		No attempt has been made to cover in full the broad spectrum of the sport of rowing in Victoria or Australia or at an international level except to the extent that events beyond the immediate confines of Mercantile affected the policies of the Club and the lives of its members within the Club.

	21. Mercantile Rowing Club - Australian Rowing History
		The Club devoted considerable resources to recruiting, coaching and equipment to the under age area and perfected the progression from junior to youth, to under 23 and then to senior.
		Without doubt, Mercantile created the dream team of rowing coaches during this Olympiad with some of them going on to be world leaders in their field.
		There was distress expressed by some members at the loss of club identity through composite crews at selection trials and at the national championships, the focus on selection at the expense of local regattas, the huge equipment costs in boating both small and big boats in the selection process and the speed of change generally.
