| Title | Women's crew at the University of Washington, January 26, 1929 |
| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | 1929 |
| Caption | Women's crew started at the University of Washington in 1906. The women rowed on stationary seats in the boathouse before being trusted on the water in training barges. By 1908, teams from each class competed regularly in racing shells on Union Bay.
This photo, taken in January 1929 shows the women's crew posing with oars as a coach gives them directions. The women would have worn athletic clothing for actual races. Curiously, there is no mention of womens' crew in the 1929 university yearbook. Perhaps this is one of Webster & Stevens advertising photos. |
