      Boats, Boatmen and Techniques of the Colorado River: A Meditation on the Kolb Expedition Centennial Prescott Public Library Boats, Boatmen and Techniques of the Colorado River: A Meditation on the Kolb Expedition Centennial Presented by Grand Canyon Association at Prescott Public Library February 12, 2012 In 1911, Ellsworth and Emery Kolb launched an expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers in two state-of-the-art wooden rowboats. To commemorate the Kolb Centennial, Brad Dimock built an exact replica of Emery Kolb's Edith and rowed it through all the remaining significant whitewater on the Kolb route. Dimock, who has spent thirty years on the Colorado River as a boatman, will put the Kolbs, their boats and their techniques into the grand scheme of western whitewater.
