Rowing at the 1930 British Empire Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At the 1930 British Empire Games, the rowing competition featured five events for men only. In the double sculls event, only Canada was represented, so the organisers simply invited a couple of crews from the United States to provide some opposition.
