The City of Philadelphia built the world’s largest dam at Fairmount to power its waterworks in 1822, forming a three-mile long slack water pond that was perfect for recreational boating. The river also froze in winter to create a generous skating rink. In 1844, the city of Philadelphia purchased Lemon Hill, a private estate just Keystone, Philadelphia Skating and Humane north of the waterworks, and in 1855 Society. Photo courtesy of E.

  • I ´Due´ John B. Kelly
    La leggenda dei Kelly di Claudio Loreto z John Brendan Kelly, il “muratore” Lo statunitense John Brendan Kelly è stato il primo canottiere a collezionare tre medaglie d’oro olimpiche. Più che a tale primato, tuttavia, la sua fama – che andò decisamente al di là dell’ambito sportivo – è legata al mito americano del “self-made man”, da egli pienamente incarnato. Ultimo di dieci figli di emigrati irlandesi, John (detto anche Jack) nacque a Filadelfia il 4 ottobre 1889.1 Muratore, sviluppò una grande passione per lo sport; dopo qualche esperienza nel rugby, nella pallacanestro e nella pallanuoto, approdò al canottaggio, nel quale presto si affermò - per i colori del Vesper Boat Club di Filadelfia 2 - come il miglior “sculler” 3 degli Stati Uniti. La I Guerra Mondiale lo obbligò a sospendere la voga, arruolandolo nelle fila dell’esercito come soldato semplice. Durante la ferma in Francia Kelly prese parte - nella categoria “pesi massimi” - al torneo militare americano di pugilato, conseguendo dodici vittorie consecutive prima di essere bloccato da un infortunio. Il torneo sarebbe infine stato vinto da Gene Tunney, futuro campione del mondo professionista; in seguito Kelly avrebbe canzonato Tunney: “Non fosti fortunato, allorchè mi si ruppe una caviglia?”. Congedato al termine del conflitto con il grado di tenente, Kelly avviò a Filadelfia un’impresa edile che lo avrebbe poi reso miliardario; contemporaneamente riprese in mano i remi, ripristinando negli U.S.A. il proprio predominio nella specialità dello “skiff” 4. Nel 1920 avanzò richiesta di partecipazione alla “Diamond Sculls”, la prestigiosissima gara dei singolisti in seno alla “Henley Royal Regatta” (all’epoca la più importante manifestazione remiera annuale del mondo).

Two separate but related events were the focus of their attention. The first of these two groups were intent upon competing in the Masters Eight event at the 2003 IRA Regatta in Camden, NJ; the second had as their goal maximizing their class’s participation in MIT’s 2003 Reunion Row a week later. I had rarely experienced anything quite like it, and I rather early on conceived the idea for two projects that will, I hope, become worthy keepsakes for all who participated in them, while at the same time benefit the Friends of MIT Crew, of which I am a Director.

  • An Artistic Milestone for a Sport and a City
    TRACK INSIDE REDISCOVERED: An Artistic Milestone forxcitement a among Sport scholars and a City and connoisseurs is grow- ing over what may well be the frst American art- work depicting a rowing regatta. This is not just an attractive picture, but also emblematic of a tradition distinctive to the city of Philadelphia, where the country’s frst private clubs for rowing and rac- ing boats propelled by oars were established in the early 1830s. The site of this artwork’s rediscovery is Ethe Undine Barge Club, an amateur (though very dedicated) rowing club on the Schuylkill River headquartered in a magnifcent 1882 boathouse designed by the great local architect Frank Furness. Now one of a dozen such clubs lining Boathouse Row, the Undine was founded in 1856 for “healthful exercise, relaxation from business ... and pleasure.” The lead players in the rediscovery are the painter Joseph Sweeney (b. 1950), who is artist-in-residence at the club, and James H. Hill, a longtime Undinian. Sweeney has long encouraged its members to conserve some of the historic artworks hang- ing on the walls of their house; needless to say, its essential proximity to the river brings with it signifcant humidity issues. Firmly identifed artworks have been receiving expert conserva- tion treatment, but the particular picture under approached by Dr. Lily Milroy of the Philadelphia consideration here — an easel-sized gouache Museum of Art, who was writing a book about NICOLINO VICOMPTE CALYO (1799 –1884), First on paper — does not have a signature or label, the history of the Schuylkill River.
