5938347 Chelsea Regatta, 1863-68 (oil on canvas) by Greaves, Walter (1846-1930); 91.8x191.7 cm; Manchester Art Gallery, UK; (add.info.: The artist was formerly a Thames boatman. He recalled \'What with guns firing, bands playing and the immense crowd of people, Chelsea was pretty lively on...its annual Regatta. The race was rowed in heats...for a purse of sovereigns.\' The last Regatta was held in 1871, when the Embankment replaced the old waterfront. Greaves later became an associate of JAM Whistler, a sophisticated American painter based in London. The self-taught manner of The Chelsea Regatta pre-dates the influence of his famous mentor. He recalled \'To Mr Whistler a boat was always a tone; to us it was always a boat.\'); by Manchester Art Gallery .
