This unusual event was held for the only time at the Olympics. There were six oarsmen in each boat, but they also had a “leader”, who served as a coxswain and cheerleader, so it was really was a 7-man event. An Italian crew from Marinai della nave da guerra Varese won the gold medal rather easily over three Greek boats.
