where on earth did you manage to find an old-fashioned narrator speaking of Kilometres? TOSH!
2:35 My Dad stands up in boat behind, brown coat, his son is in danger - Thames rough that March day- I was there, Cambridge were rowing against the water with flaps down - Oxford full of American athletes! I should have placed a bet!!!

My ancestor George Latham Davis was the Cambridge cox in the 1877 race. Which was declared a dead heat! George was a barrister.
