A group of remers from the Marítimo de Vigo Club in the 1930s (Photos given by Francisco Javier Steinbrüggen Cruces, from Pacheco) In the 1930s they lived in our beloved Vigo, the Real Nautico Club and the Marítimo Club... the Nautico most focused on the candle and the social had its headquarters in the lower of the Gran Hotel in the heart of Puerta del Sol... the Marítimo focused on the rowing and swimming, was more popular, more dynamic, younger.

A traditional family of the Vigo post-World War I, was the Steinbrüggen Family... that good athletes with German ancestry were in love with the mobile bank rowing... among them stood out in a Paco way... their wake would be followed many years later by their son Francisco Javier Steinbrüggen Cruces... who was a good remer in the 1960s... at the time when the Nautico shone with his participation in Spain representing the 1960 Olympics, held in Rome.

Now Francisco Javier, who is 70 years old, has regained his hobby, in the Grand Master's plan, and is part of the athletes of the modern Club Remo Vigo, which is located in the old facilities that has rented him to the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo and that congregates decens of remers and remers, who try to preserve that glorious past in the times of the Second Republic in which the Steingrüggen were already sailing by live waters. We leave you with these beautiful photographs, which Francisco Javier has had the kindness to send us... thank you... and to continue to row Francisco!
