Description: | The 1910 boat race was won by the Oxford University team, which completed the 4.5-mile course between Putney and Mortlake in 20 minutes and 14 seconds. They won by three and a half lengths.
The race competitors are always Oxford (in dark blue) and Cambridge (light blue). The race started in 1829 and has taken place every year since 1840 except during the two world wars.
Around this period Britain was successful in rowing, winning gold in both the 1908 Olympics in London and the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Sport | Temporal: | 23 Mar 1910 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
