How the story begins
Two days before he was due to sail for England in 1920, a Philadelphia bricklayer named Jack Kelly got a telegram of four words. "Entry rejected, letter follows." He said the letter never came. Kelly had entered the Diamond Sculls at the Henley Royal Regatta. The first bar was this boathouse. Vesper, his club, had been banned after its 1905 crew raised their travel money by public subscription.
The rest is in the app. Peplos plays the full story when you reach the place. You can also listen ahead of time.
Visiting
Vesper Boat Club, 10 Boathouse Row, on the Schuylkill. It is a private club: see it from the outside only, from the river trail or Kelly Drive.
