Final of the International Cup at Cork Regatta (23 Jul 1902) BFIfilms · July 15, 2008 Final of International Cup at Cork Regatta between Leander and Berlin.
The International Cup Races were held at Cork over three days in July (21st , 22nd, 23rd) and they marked the climax of the great Cork Exhibition of that summer. The regatta was probably the greatest rowing carnival ever held in Ireland and the final day was attended by an estimated 80,000 spectators. The regatta races were run over a course from Blackrock Castle to the city in superb summer weather.
I rowed on the Lee with University College Cork when doing my Junior Semester Abroud. I loved the Lee. Its really cool to see these historic shots of it.
