U S Marshalls
People often ask us about the movie U.S. Marshals which featured a forward facing rowboat in a scene with Wesley Snipes.
Was that a FrontRower?
No, that was a boat equipped with "bow facing oars" of the type originally manufactured by Fred A. Allen in 1863 and sold by Calhoun Boat Works in Tiptonville, TN.
This system featured a reversing mechanism at the oarlock which reverses the direction of the oars.
This gives a forward motion to the boat with a pulling motion on the oar handles.
