I hope they are the “Collingwood’s” oars, so a little bit of Amble history has been preserved. I remember the oars being painted white or blue and although of equal dimensions differing in weight. Lads of, shall we say “lesser physical stature” who needed built up as would not have met the physical requirements for joining the navy rowed with the heavy oars whiles us “larger lads” got the lighter ones.
