EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling moment when the Zurich crew crosses the finish line to win the Grand Challenge Cup at the 1936 Henley Regatta. The Zurich eight, considered the fastest crew to ever race at Henley, consisted of three Homberger brothers and their teammates. The Leander crew, in second place, can be seen in the background, just a few lengths behind. The Henley Regatta, held annually along the River Thames in England, is one of the most prestigious rowing events in the world. Established in 1839, the regatta attracts crews from all over the globe to compete in various racing categories. The Grand Challenge Cup, the most prestigious event, is open to professional and amateur crews. The Zurich crew, representing the Zurich Rowing Club in Switzerland, was in a class of its own. The Homberger brothers, Hans, Karl, and Paul, had already made a name for themselves in European rowing circles before coming to Henley. Their exceptional skills and teamwork were on full display as they powered their boat to victory, setting a new course record in the process. The 1936 Henley Regatta took place in July, and the excitement surrounding the Zurich crew was palpable. Thousands of spectators lined the banks of the River Thames to witness the historic race. The victory by the Zurich crew was a testament to their dedication, skill, and the power of teamwork. This photograph is a reminder of a bygone era in the rich history of rowing and the Henley Regatta.
