But the history of Crew goes back even earlier, to the late 1870's, when frenchy johnson became the first prominent african american Oarsman of modern times. He was considered to be the fastest oarsman in boston. He also in 1875, with a few friends formed the first ever african american rowing club, called "Cornucopia Boat Club," in 1875!
