The Poonah Boat Club - Bringing Down the Boats

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Poonah Boat Club - Bringing Down the Boats.

Description of the image published in the source magazine at pg. 318.

"At Poona,” says Mr. Giles, to whom we arc indebted for our sketch, “we have a very good club, both as regards members and appliances. The boats are built by English rankers, such as Clasper, Searle, and others; the members have among oarsmen who might take place in the first ranks at home. The scene is a curious one to a person accustomed to the Thames or any other English boating river. Instead of the stalwart boatmen of the Thames, the men who look after the boats, are natives, and it is a funny sight to see a delicate sculling boat handled by some swarthy Indians. In the background are the boat-houses built of thatchm and a weighing-machine at which the athletes can ascertain whether the effects of climate are increasing or diminishing their athletic frames. Between the boat-houses may be seen the vehicles which have brought the members of the club down to the water, and on the left of the sketch, the child in undress, and the goat, without which an Indian picture is rarely perfect. The palm trees and prickly pear bushes give an Oriental appearance to a scene which, viewed merely as to the boats and their occupants, would have a very English character."
