Each of the rowing shells used by the championship University of Washington team held eight men and a coxswain (pronounced COX-en). It is the coxswain who calls the strokes and steers the boat. The lightweight western cedar racing shells were designed and built on campus. This photo shows an eight-man shell streaking through the water.
