message: quote the lead
: The Detroit Boat Club, established in 1839, is the oldest sport rowing club in the United States. It is also the second oldest continuous rowing club in the world.[1] 
What is the oldest? Please add "behind" or "after" blah-blah with a reference.
quote History of rowing#Men's
: In 1838, six men formed the Narragansett Boat Club in Providence and today Narragansett Boat Club is the oldest rowing club, and the oldest athletic club in America. ... The oldest continuous rowing club in America is the Detroit Boat Club, in Detroit, Michigan.
No inconsistency, also no explanation of the "catch", presumably some NBC discontinuity. The catch should be explained if possible. DBC should be dated and moved up in the paragraph.
;Several older clubs?
quote Rowing (sport)#History
: Founded in 1818, Leander Club is the world's oldest public rowing club.[14] The second oldest club which still exists is the Der Hamburger und Germania Ruder Club which was founded 1836 and marked the beginning of rowing as an organized sport in Germany.[15] 
Second oldest or second oldest public? Anyway this suggests DBC is no older than third.
quote Leander Club
: Only three other surviving clubs (two from the Oxford colleges) were founded prior to Leander: Brasenose College Boat Club and Jesus College Boat Club (the two competing in a Head race in 1815) and Westminster School Boat Club, founded in 1813.
quote Der Hamburger und Germania Ruder Club
: Der Hamburger und Germania Ruder Club is a rowing club in Hamburg, Germany. It was founded in 1836 as Der Hamburger Ruder Club, the club is the fourth oldest rowing club in the world (2nd if only counting non-academically affiliated clubs) after Brasenose College Boat Club, Jesus College Boat Club (Oxford) and Leander Club
