Description
Digital copy of a black and white photograph of ZLAC Rowing Club Crew IX members getting ready to launch a barge into Mission Bay. Originally the barge was pulled by levies into the water; later a motor was installed to take the boat from the boathouse down the pier to put into the water.

The club is divided into crews based upon ages. The founding members were Crew I with the two clubs from then Russ School (now San Diego High School) initiated into the club as Crew II and Crew III. Over the years the club has expanded and crews are divided by age span - about 15 years for each crew.

Members (still active in the club today) in this photo include:
Zoe Wade Winter
Helen Gray
Kay Wenman
Mary Grandall
Martha Saunders
Joan Chesnut
Ann Pyle
Pat Woodworth
Ann Stitt
