ABOUT RIVERSIDE
HISTORY: Riverside Boat Club was founded in 1869 by printers, many of them Irish and employed at The Riverside Press. Throughout it’s 140-year
history, Riverside has emerged as the most successful rowing club in New England. Despite the shift of rowing’s role in the American and worldwide
sporting scene, Riverside Boat Club has retained its commitment to making rowing available to working people. Today, even as Riverside maintains it’s
tradition as a member-run non-profit organization for oarsmen and women of all economic backgrounds, it has once again emerged as an energetic
rowing community and a competitive force in American rowing.
