Did you know… The CLB has a long history with the Royal St. John's Regatta. In fact, during the 1902 Regatta, the CLB crew won their race with a broken oar.

It was in the Brigade race between the Catholic Cadet Corps (CCC) in the Red Cross against the CLB in the Bob Sexton. Almost as soon as the starting gun was fired, Frank Miles of the CLB crew broke his oar. Knowing that the only option was to continue, coxswain Arthur Williams urged the crew to go on.

As the race proceeded, the CCC crew had already rounded the buoys before the CLB got there. Trailing at one point by five boat-lengths, the two boats were nearly even just eight yards from the finish. The CLB crew surged forward and crossed the line just four feet ahead of their rivals in a winning time of 10:10. The newspapers later called this one of the most exciting races ever rowed.

While the CLB doesn’t row anymore, the band still plays at the Regatta every year on the bandstand as it has since 1964. Please stop by for a listen, or perhaps bring your kids to visit the CLB duck pond concession!
