Cowes
Cowes is an English seaport town as well as civil parish on the Isle of Wight. Cowes is found on the west bank of the estuary of the River Medina, facing the smaller sized community of East Cowes on the east bank. Both communities are linked by the Cowes Drifting Bridge, a chain ferryboat. The population was 9,663 in the 2001 census, which doubled during the regatta in early August. The population at the 2011 census was 10,405. Charles Godfrey Leland's 19th century verses define the towns poetically as "Both great Cowes that in loud rumbling roar/This on the eastern, that the western shore". Cowes has been viewed as a home for worldwide private yacht auto racing considering that the founding of the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1815. It provides its name to the world's oldest regular regatta, Cowes Week, which takes place yearly in the initial week of August. Later on, powerboat races are held. Much of the community's design is still heavily influenced by the design of luxuriant building that Prince Albert popularised.
