Description
Picture 1 shows six rowing boats moored on the Eglinton Canal with a bridge in the background. Part of Galway Cathedral can also be seen. The Men’s Club was close by and was where students usually accessed the boats that they used to row up to Lough Corrib, or to train for rowing competitions (J. Ward et al., Asset Id 14208).
Picture 2 shows 'Cabhlach an Choláiste', [The College's Fleet] of about twenty six boats close to the Men's Club (Nuacht, 1978).
