About this object
This is a photo of the 1922 Awarua Boating Club, winners of the Senior Fours for the Dunedin and Port Chalmers Regatta, Carnival Week.
The Otago Regatta Senior Fours Race:
Running from Deborah Bay to the George Street Wharf docks, by all reports the finish of the Senior Clinker Four-oared race was tight, with the Awarua crew just pulling across in first by a quarter of a length. This didn’t end the excitement though, as the Queen’s Drive and Port Chalmers crew battled for second and third completing the race in a “dead heat amidst the cheers of the crowd”.
Success in 1922:
The Awarua Club struck a lot of success in 1922, placing first for the Senior Pairs at the Bluff Regatta (A. Tall & T. Ross) and second in the Senior Sculls, first in the Senior Pairs at the Invercargill Regatta and in the Greenland Shield Comp, first in the Senior Pairs at the Port Chalmers Regatta, and placing second in the Senior Pairs and first in the Senior Sculls at the Dunedin Regatta.
