Cowes
Cowes is an English seaport community and civil parish on the Isle of Wight. Cowes is found on the west financial institution of the tidewater of the River Medina, encountering the smaller community of East Cowes on the eastern bank. The two communities are connected by the Cowes Floating Bridge, a chain ferryboat. The population was 9,663 in the 2001 census, which increased throughout the regatta in very early August. The population at the 2011 census was 10,405. Charles Godfrey Leland's 19th century knowledgeables explain the towns poetically as "Both fantastic Cowes that in loud rumbling roar/This on the eastern, that the western coast". Cowes has actually been viewed as a house for global private yacht racing considering that the starting of the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1815. It provides its name to the world's oldest normal regatta, Cowes Week, which happens every year in the first week of August. Later on, powerboat races are held. Much of the community's architecture is still greatly affected by the design of luxuriant structure that Prince Albert popularised.
