http://dbpedia.org/resource/Doggett's_Coat_and_Badge an entity of type: Award
Doggett's Coat and Badge est le nom de la plus ancienne au monde. Sur la Tamise en Angleterre, jusqu'à six compétiteurs se disputent cet honneur prestigieux, organisé chaque année depuis 1715. La course de 7 400 m se déroule sur la Tamise entre London Bridge et (en), Chelsea, passant sous un total de onze ponts en cours de route. À l’origine, elle se déroulait chaque 1er août contre la marée, dans les bateaux utilisés par les bateliers pour transporter des passagers sur la Tamise. Aujourd'hui, elle se déroule fin juillet à une date et à une heure qui coïncident avec la marée montante, sur des bateaux modernes d'aviron.

Doggett's Coat and Badge is the prize and name for the oldest rowing race in the world. Up to six apprentice watermen of the River Thames in England compete for this prestigious honour, which has been held every year since 1715. The 4 mile 5 furlongs (7.44 km) race is rowed on the River Thames upstream from London Bridge to Cadogan Pier, Chelsea, passing under a total of eleven bridges. Originally, it was raced every 1 August against the outgoing (falling or ebb) tide, in the boats used by watermen to ferry passengers across the Thames. Today it is raced at a time amenable to spectators, in September, that coincides with the incoming (rising or flood) tide, in contemporary single sculling boats.

Today it is raced at a time amenable to spectators, in September, that coincides with the incoming (rising or flood) tide, in contemporary single sculling boats. The winner's prize is a traditional watermen's red coat with a silver badge added, displaying the horse of the House of Hanover and the word "Liberty", in honour of the accession of George I to the throne. In addition, each competitor who completes the course receives a miniature of a Doggett's Badge for their lapel in a ceremony at Watermen's Hall, in silver for the winner and in bronze for the others. Monetary prizes are also awarded by the Fishmongers' Company to the rowing clubs of those taking part, with £1,000 to the winner's club, £600 for second, £400 for third and £200 for fourth. In addition to the prizes received, winning Doggett's Coat and Badge in the 18th and 19th centuries would help attract more trade to the talented waterman. While this is no longer the case, winning the Doggett's Coat and Badge is today still seen as very prestigious.
