This print captures a historic moment in the University Boat Race, March 1912. The image takes us back to that fateful day when both Oxford and Cambridge boats met an unfortunate incident on the rough waters of the Thames. Swamped by powerful waves, these skilled rowers found themselves battling against nature's forces. The photograph, taken from The Royal Jubilee Book 1910-1935, showcases the determination and resilience of these young athletes as they struggle to keep their sinking boats afloat. It serves as a testament to the spirit of competition and sportsmanship that has defined this prestigious event for over a century.
