Summary

Torrens Lake, from the South side. The club rooms of the Norwood Boating Club can be seen on the opposite bank of the River Torrens. The club was formed for the encouragement and practice of amateur rowing among persons of all classes. Following a time of low enthusiasm and floods, membership numbers fell but by 1892 it was one of the strongest clubs on the lake. The club combined with the Commercial Rowing Club and became known as the Mercantile Rowing club
