Schuylkill Navy logo

The Schuylkill Navy is an association of amateur rowing clubs of Philadelphia. Founded in 1858, it is the oldest amateur athletic governing body in the United States.[1] The member clubs of the Navy are all located on the Schuylkill River where it flows through Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, with most of the clubs being located on the historic Boathouse Row.

By charter, the Schuylkill Navy’s object is "to secure united action among the several Clubs and to promote amateurism on the Schuylkill River." [2]

At its founding there were nine clubs and approximately 300 members. The member clubs of the Navy were all located along a stretch of the Schuylkill River, where it flows through Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. Most of the clubs being located on the historic Boathouse Row. Clubs represented at the founding included America, Camilla, Chebucto, Falcon, Independent, Keystone, Neptune, Pennsylvania, and University Barge Club. Current member clubs include Fairmount Rowing Association, Crescent Boat Club, Bachelors Barge Club, University Barge Club, Malta Boat Club, Vesper Boat Club, College Boat Club, Penn Athletic Club Rowing Association (Penn AC), Philadelphia Girls' Rowing Club (PGRC), Gillin Boat Club and St. Joseph's University and St. Joseph's Prep. At least 23 other clubs have belonged to the Navy at various times. [2]

The Schuylkill Navy and its member clubs organize and host many rowing races during the year. The Dad Vail usually signifies the end of the spring rowing season for most collegiate teams. Other major regattas held each year include the Thomas Eakins Head of the Schuylkill Regatta (sponsored by the University Barge Club) and the Frostbite Regatta. The Navy also sponsors other athletic endeavors including a basketball league and an annual cross country race. The latter has been held since 1899, with only a few interruptions during World War II. [2]

Many of the clubs in the Navy have a rich history and have produced a large number of Olympic and World class competitors.

The Schuylkill Navy was founded by Philadelphia rowing clubs seeking a governing body to prevent fixed races.[3] Once formed, the Navy enacted a code of conduct that prohibited wagering on races.[3] The success of the Schuylkill Navy and similar organizations contributed heavily to the extinction of professional rowing and the sport's current status as an amateur sport.[4]

Historically, the Schuylkill Navy has had a role in certain ceremonial and State functions.[5] On November 11, 1872, the Navy composed the funeral solemnities of General George Meade.[5] In 1876, in connection with the Centennial Exposition, an international regatta was held under the auspices of the Schuylkill Navy.[5] At that time, it was the largest regatta of its kind.[5] On April 27, 1878, crews from various clubs of the Navy staged a demonstration to honor the President Rutherford B. Hayes's visit to Philadelphia.[5]

Pre-Civil War

The following nine clubs were present at the founding of the society in October 1858: America, Camilla, Chebucto, Falcon, Independent, Keystone (the 1st), Neptune (the 1st), Pennsylvania (the 1st), and University.[6][7] Later that month, Amateurs, Nautilus, and Quaker City joined.[7] While not at that first meeting, Undine and Bachelors joined the Navy soon after its founding.[8] Bachelors absorbed member, Amateurs, in December 1858, and became a member in March 1859.[7] While Undine was not initially listed as a founder, it is considered a founder of the Navy because one of Undine's members was the Secretary Treasurer of the Navy at its inception.[9]

In March 1860, Union Boat Club and Atlantic Barge Club (the 1st) joined the Schuylkill Navy.[7] In September 1860, founder, Camilla Boat Club, resigned.[7] By June 1861, Falcon, Pennsylvania, and Atlantic dissolved.[7] Half of the remaining Schuylkill Navy clubs lapsed during the Civil War.[10] As of August 1865, Chebutco, Excelsior, Union, Independent, and Keystone no longer existed.[9]

Post Civil War

Rowing resumed after the Civil War ended, but many of the fledgling post-war clubs did not last. On August 17, 1865, Pennsylvania Barge Club (the 2nd) and Philadelphia Barge Club were elected to the Navy.[9] Five days later, Malta Boat Club and Washington Boat Club (now known as Vesper) joinded.[9]

In 1867, the Navy admitted Iona (the 1st), but Iona terminated its membership after it became part of Crescent Boat Club, which joined in 1868.[11] In April 1868, rowers split from Neptune to form the second Atlantic Boat Club.[11] Keystone (the 2nd) joined the Navy in February 1870, but resigned by the end of the year.[11] Washington Boat Club was renamed Vesper Boat Club in 1870, then resigned in 1871, and was not a member again until 1879.[11] Bachelors resigned in 1870 and did not rejoin until 1882.[11] West Philadelphia Barge Club and College Boat Club joined in 1873 and 1875, respectively.[11]

A new Iona Boat Club, chartered in 1876, joined the Navy in 1884, and lasted until 1895.[11] Fairmount Rowing Association, in existence since 1877, was admitted in 1916.[11] In 1924, Penn Athletic Club Rowing Association absorbed West Philadelphia Boat Club.[11] In 1932, under the pressures of the Great Depression, Quaker City Barge Club and Philadelphia Barge Club closed their doors.[12]

Post World War II

World War II dramatically reduced the membership rolls of the clubs of the Schuylkill Navy.[13] As a result Crescent Boat Club resigned and leased its boathouse to LaSalle Rowing Association from 1951 until 1960.[1] Pennsylvania Barge Club (the 2nd) ceased rowing in 1955.[1] Pennsylvania turned its boathouse over to the Navy until its membership was reinstated in 2009.[14]

In 1968, Philadelphia Girls' Rowing Club, a women only club, became a member of the Schuylkill Navy.[15] Most recently, Gillin Boat Club was elected to the Navy by unanimous vote in 2004.[16]
