Welcome to Derwent Mercantile Rowing Club

The Derwent Mercantile Rowing Club is one of oldest rowing club in Australia. The club came into being in 1965 as a result of the merger of the Derwent Rowing Club (est. 1872) and the Mercantile Rowing Club (est. 1876). The club is located in the former Derwent Rowing Club clubhouse at Pavilion Point. The building was constructed in the early 1950's following a fire that destroyed the old boat sheds and most of the equipment.
