23 Chapter 9: Boathouse Row along Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“Well, according to the police, it seems you, Sarah and Kevin decided to go for a swim yesterday afternoon. Your clothes, shoes and backpacks were found along the shoreline at Boathouse Row. You must have drowned in the undercurrents of the Schuylkill River, then were dragged over the Fairmount Dam.” There are fifteen, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century boathouses in Fairmount Park. All but two are owned by private rowing clubs. In the foreground is the 1,204-foot-long Fairmount Dam built in 1821.
