History
In 1838, the Narragansett Boat Club was founded. Following the Civil War, the Club constructed an impressive boathouse on the banks of the Seekonk. Throughout the 1880's, the Narragansett Boat Club spawned many national champions and sponsored a professional sculling regatta that was featured on the cover of Harper's Magazine. During the late 1940's the Club was also the first home of the modern-day Brown University Rowing Program. In 1971, the Narragansett Boat Club entered its most active phase of the 20th century; the Club initiated a learn-to-row sculling program. As a result of the growth of the rowing program and the growth of the Narragansett Boat Club as an organization, those who are active rowers has also markedly increased. In addition to doing a great deal of rowing on the Seekonk and Providence Rivers, the club has developed regional, national, and world-level rowers in youth, elite, and masters (age 27 and older) programs.
