Malta Boat Club is an amateur rowing club located at #9 Boathouse Row in the historic Boathouse Row of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1865, the Club joined the Schuylkill Navy when it relocated to the Schuylkill River from the Delaware River and purchased the facilities of the now defunct Excelsior Club.[2][3] While on the Delaware, the club occupied a house on Smith’s Island where the club stored its boat called the “Minnehaha”.[4] The Club was founded by members of the Minnehaha Lodge of the Sons of Malta.[4] The Sons of Malta, originally organized in the South, did not survive the Civil War.[5][6]

As four members of the US National Team row out of Malta, the Club was well represented at the 2009 World Championships.[7]

The Boathouse

In 1873, Malta, in conjunction with Vesper Boat Club, built a 1 1⁄2-story boat house.[8] In 1880, the boat house was expanded.[8]

In 1901, brothers George W. and William D. Hewitt designed more substantial additions including a third story to make Malta the tallest boathouse on Boathouse Row.[8] The Hewitt brothers had been Frank Furness’s partner until 1876, and they designed the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, the Bourse Building, and the Wissahickon Inn.[9]
