Well Rowed All! up a creek without a paddle barrels and horses and carts'Well Rowed All!', 1869. This cartoon refers to the development of a 'special relationship' between Britain and the United States. In August 1969, the Boat Race featured a match between teams from the Universities of Oxford and Harvard. Oxford triumphed by nearly two lengths. Here, Mr 'Umpire' Punch congratulates both captains Britain on the left, and America on the right. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 11, 1869.
