Our Henley results are grouped together on the club History Henley results page. After finding it, a man called Charlie James emailed us from Australia saying that his family had in their posession a trophy from the 1863 Henley sculling races.
He kindly sent us these pictures.
They still award cups like it to the winners today - they're known as Pineapple cups because of their design! There is information on the HRR website. In 1850 "the diamond scarf-pin gave way to a silver-gilt 'pineapple' cup, which was similarly presented to the winner to keep."
Thanks to Simon B for the information on its origin.
