- Biographical note
- "Formed in 1836, the Pembroke Club represents the earliest iteration of organised rowing in the University of Dublin... The Pembroke Club enjoyed a short-lived existence rowing on the industrial waters of Ringsend, primarily rowing in small boats along the Dodder. Joined in the 1840{u2019}s by the University Rowing Club, there existed for a time two separate rowing clubs for students of Trinity. 1847 witnessed the merger of these two clubs with the formation of the Dublin University Rowing Club (D.U.R.C.) D.U.R.C. raced successfully across Ireland and Great Britain as the sole rowing club of Trinity College until 1867, when the dual identity found itself re-established with the formation of the Dublin University Boat Club (D.U.B.C.) from the ranks of DURC. The latter part of the 19th Century saw the Boat Club and the Rowing Club challenge for dominance within the college and beyond... The Boat Club proved the superior of the two clubs and in 1898 the second amalgamation in the history of Trinity rowing was observed when the clubs joined forces under the name of the Dublin University Boat Club, rowing in the familiar black and white zephyrs of the Boat Club. Accompanying the formation of this new club was the construction of our current boathouse alongside the tranquil water of the Liffey at Islandbridge. The new boathouse also played host to the first modern Trinity Regatta which has been raced annually since 1898, save for an exception during the years of the First World War."
