The Charles was first the home course of the Massachusetts Indian tribe. It was their waterway to the fishing grounds of Boston Harbor. Competitive rowing made its debut on the eve of April 18, 1775 when Paul Revere did a power 20 across the Charles River basin to Cambridge to warn the countryside of the oncoming Brits. However, the origin of head-to-head rowing was reserved for the early to mid 19th century and came from two different cultures, the young men of Harvard, and recent immigrants from England and Ireland where the sport was popular. Harvard kicked off collegiate competition in 1852 and Northeastern joined the Charles River navy in 1965. Ernie Henderson The river is now the home of 22 men’s and women’s college crews, which is easily double that of any other Vice Chairman Emeritus body of water. On a given spring Saturday there could be up to 50 races involving 150 shells. And, in the Board of Trustees fall the gentle Charles hosts the world famous Head of the Charles Regatta. The shores of the river are dotted with boathouses both ancient and elegant that reflect the popularity NU Honorary Degree ’92 of the sport during the turn of the century. Then there are the newcomers such as Henderson Boathouse, Vice Chairman the home of Northeastern rowing. It is a blend of the best of past and present.

Named for benefactors Mary Louise and Ernest Flagg Henderson, it sits on Pebble Board of Trustees Beach on the Allston-Brighton shore overlooking historic Mt. Auburn Cemetery. 1967-97 The boathouse features towers, sloped roofs, dormers and porches, plus an exercise area with a 40-foot high cathedral ceiling. It is the ideal venue for Northeastern’s excellent men’s and women’s crew programs.

WHERE TO WATCH THE RACE... The finish line: Located across the street from the Hyatt Regency Hotel at 575 Memorial Drive on the Cambridge side shore of the Charles River. The MIT Boathouse: Sitting at the 3/4 mark of the race on the Charles River is the MIT Boathouse. The boathouse is at the 1500 meter mark and allows a perfect sight of the boats coming under the Massachusetts Avenue (Harvard) Bridge, as they pass 1500 meters and proceed over the final 500 meters to the finish line. The Massachusetts Avenue (Harvard) Bridge: At the midway point of the race, the boats cross underneath the Mass. Ave. Bridge. Spectators can stand safely on the bridge, located where Mass. Ave. crosses over the Charles River at the 1000 meter mark, and have an overview of the entire race.
