Boathouse Row is an historic site located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consisting of a row of boathouses housing racing sculls, on the east bank of the Schuylkill River. Each of the ten boathouses has its own history, and all have addresses on Kelly Drive (named after famous Philadelphia oarsman John B. Kelly, Jr.). The boathouses are part of a group known as the Schuylkill Navy, which encompasses several other boathouses along the river. Boathouse Row is a National Historic Landmark and was entered onto the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
