Vesta Rowing Club is a rowing club based on the Tideway River Thames in Putney, London, England. It was founded in 1870. Vesta organizes two head races every year; the Scullers Head and the Veterans Head. ==Early History== Vesta Rowing Club was founded in 1870. It is said that during the club's inaugural meeting, members decided that the club should be named after the first boat to pass under London Bridge. The first boat (a steam tug) to pass under the bridge was Vesta. The club’s first home was Salters Boathouse which was a part of Feathers Pub on the River Wandle which flows into the River Thames just up river from Wandsworth Bridge. In 1875 the club moved to the Unity boathouse (now the Ranelagh Sailing Club) and from there to its present clubhouse next door in 1890. To begin with the Vesta only raced in-house. The club’s first known entry in an open race coming in 1876. The first open win came that year with J. Whaley winning the Junior Sculls at Windsor and Eton Regatta. The first sweep oared win did not come until 1888 and that was a Junior Senior IV at Walton Regatta. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vesta Rowing Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
