In a comment of yesterday's entry by Bernard about famous scullers' monuments, Greg Denieffe adds some other links. Greg writes,There are some links showing details of Harry Clasper's death and grave/monument. Wikipedia has some external links to Harry Clasper, to go to them click here.
There are plenty of others on the web and of course in the books by David Clasper, Peter Dillon and Ian Whitehead. Ian Whitehead gave an interesting talk on the Tyneside Rowers at the Rowing History Forum at the River and Rowing Museum in Henley in 2007.
A photo of Clasper's memorial over his grave can be seen at http://www.webwanderers.org/gallery/v/churches/Clasper+Memorial.jpg.html
