This is a photo of the front and back of a collection of rowing medals won by Pennsylvania Barge oarsmen. These medals were photographed at a jewelry store in New Jersey in 2024. Officers of the Pennsylvania attempted, unsuccessfully, to purchase these objects for the Club's collection; they are now owned by an unknown party, but they depict a series of victories and events that are important in the Club's history: 1. Schuylkill Navy Rowing Commodore's Review, August 18, 1954, Awarded to Earl Baltz for Meritorious Work; 2. Peoples Regatta, July 4, 1887, Senior Single, Frank R. Baltz, PBC; 3.
