 In 1856, there were 96 rowing boats run by women, with the capacity of transporting 20-25 people in each boat.In 1875, when the rower woman profession was formally abolished (although they were allowed to continue their trade), there were five rowing boat stations in Stockholm, with a total of 23 rowing boats run by women.The number continued to diminish thereafter, and nobody knows exactly when the last rower woman retired herself.
