Harry Kelley (rower)
Harry Kelley (1832–1914) was a famous professional oarsman on the Thames. He became the Tyne, Thames, English and World Sculling Champion, a title he won four times.
==Sculling career==
The son of Jack Kelley, another Thames waterman, Kelley's first Championship win was in 1857, when he beat James Messenger for the Championship of England. Kelley's technical abilities in a boat soon got him noticed and he was regularly referred to as the best waterman the Thames ever produced, either as an oarsman or as a judge of rowing.
:''Messenger's reign was a short one. For There was working as foremosthand (pronounced "formstand") on one of the boats a young fellow whom old Johnny Coates, of Chelsea, denominated the future "star" of the Thames, Harry Kelley, one of the prettiest scullers ever seen in a boat. Messenger, never a very strong man, had to give place to this rising young waterman.''
:''We shall never forget the handsome figure of Harry as he sat in his boat. Many a time and oft have we stood at Newbold's window, at the corner of Holywell street, and looked at the outstretched arms of Kelley, and wondered when we should be able to grow a black beard like his.''
