Treasure from the Thames: The Boat Race Medallion Discovery

Many people who are fans of The Boat Race may have no connection with either university or to the sport of rowing but follow the beloved 200-year-old British national institution because of a passion for the River Thames and also for history and heritage. In such cases, it is also possible that they also follow the many social media and YouTube sites dedicated to ‘mudlarking’, the searching of the Thames foreshore at low tide for items lost or discarded anytime within the last 1,000 plus years – from Roman coins to Victorian clay tobacco pipes to McDonald’s plastic toys.

A Century Later: The Rowers Who Reached for Everest

In September, a little over one hundred years after George Leigh Mallory and Andrew Comyn ‘Sandy’ Irvine died in an attempt to scale the 29 035 foot high Mount Everest in June 1924, part of what is presumed to be Irvine’s remains, including his named sock, were found emerging from melting ice on the Central Rongbuk Glacier, just below the north face of the mountain, by a National Geographic documentary team. The pair were last seen alive on 8 June 1924 less than four thousand feet below the summit.
