Boating

"Boating" by Walter Bradford Woodgate is an exploration of rowing, its history, and techniques, particularly as it developed in British society. The book starts by showing how rowing changed from just a way to get around on water to a respected sport and hobby. It also looks at the very first boats, like rafts, and how they slowly became the kinds of boats we know today, like the trireme. According to the author, rowing is not just good exercise but also a sport that people love to compete in. The book is a guide for anyone who rows, whether they are just starting or have been doing it for a while.
