Time Machine: Cedar Rapids Boat Club
The Cedar River played a big part in Cedar Rapids summertime entertainment in the 19th century. In 1929, Gazette Editor Harry E. Boyd wrote a story about the team of eight Cedar Rapids rowers who had won a state championship at Spirit Lake in 1885. “In two four-oar teams they propelled their shells over the mile course in 9:55 and 10 flat, which is better than some flivvers (Model Ts) will do.” “By this unprecedented exhibition of speed and skill they vanquished their old rivals, the Burlington Rowing Club and the Wapsipinicon Club of Clinton,” the story continued. “They received an ovation from the crowd and a large delegation of Cedar Rapids boosters who had ridden a special Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern excursion train to the races. “To celebrate their good fortune, the victorious Cedar Rapids boatsmen waited until the end of the night and then rolled a large barrel of bottled beer out on the lawn of the fashionable Hotel Orleans. They then proceeded to tap the barrel — and the bottles.” The excursion train that brought them home the next day was lavishly decorated with bunting in the boat club’s colors: cardinal, old gold and light blue.
