The identification of this crew as the 1926 Thames Cup VIII is not absolutely certain but the members of the crew appear to correlate with other photos of that year's crew.
Bushell, GeorgeThis could, in theory, be a heat of the 1909 Stewards', in which Thames had exactly the same crew as 1911 and also beat Trinity Hall. But it seems more plausible that the club would have purchased a photograph of the final; the size of the crowd is also suggestive of finals day. Additionally, Logan at stroke appears to be looking at the opposition and his eye-line suggests a crew 11/4 length behind (as Trinity Hall were in 1911) rather than 5 lengths or more back (as they were in 1909, when an Easily verdict was recorded).
