In the 17th century, the first regatta was organised to celebrate the coronation of the King of England. Interestingly, unsatisfied aristocrats began to buy their own boats to compete on the Thames, initially for pleasure, and in subsequent years rowing clubs were formed. Professional rowers also emerged through the London Guilds, the trade unions and the nobility, who offered prize money for the races.
The traditional sport began to grow in popularity and became a highly regarded competition.
