Stan Pocock Interview, September 1986
Stan Pocock (1923-2014) was a prominent rower and coach in Pacific Northwest rowing. He was born in Seattle and had an interest in rowing from an early age thanks to the legacy of his father, George Pocock (1891-1976) who was renowned for his design and construction of rowing shells. George Pocock was responsible for the construction of the rowing shells used by the University of Washington in their 1936 Olympic championship and supplied collegiate rowing shells across the nation. Stan attended the University of Washington and graduated with a degree in engineering. Stan carried in his father’s footsteps and became known for his own innovations, creating the first fiberglass rowing shell in 1961. He also became a successful rowing coach, leading eight crews to the Olympics during the 1950s and 1960s; coaching the University of Washington rowing team and acting as the first coach of the Lake Washington Rowing Club. In 2012, USRowing awarded Pocock the Medal of Honor, honoring his lifetime achievement in the field.
