EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense concentration and determination of two legendary rowers, James Hammill and Walter Brown, as they engage in the Great Five Mile Rowing Match for $4000 and the championship of America, held at Newburg Bay on the Hudson River in New York on September 9, 1867. The men, dressed in their racing attire, are fully focused on their oars, their powerful strokes propelling them forward in a fierce competition that would test their endurance and skill. The Hudson River, known for its challenging currents and waves, provided the perfect backdrop for this high-stakes race. The five-mile course was no easy feat, requiring the rowers to navigate the river's natural obstacles while maintaining their pace and form. The $4000 purse and the title of America's champion rower added to the pressure, making this a race that would go down in history. The photograph, taken around the year of the event, captures the excitement and tension of the moment, with the crowd in the background cheering and encouraging the rowers on. The image is a testament to the passion and dedication of these athletes, who pushed themselves to their limits in pursuit of victory and glory. The Great Five Mile Rowing Match between James Hammill and Walter Brown remains an iconic moment in the history of American rowing, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when athletic competition was at its most thrilling and exhilarating.
