St Chad's College Boat Club (SCCCBC) is the rowing club of St Chad's College at Durham University on the River Wear in England.

In 2016, the boat house and landing stage were completely replaced.

On Friday 24 February 1911, a crew from St Chad's Hall began to take on water during poor weather (not regarded by the club as a reason to panic in itself) but became increasingly submerged – and soon 'completely swamped' – after the nervous crew, while trying to 'get her out of it', swerved the boat with badly timed strokes.

[6] Two students, Lionel Michelsen and Jesse Parsons (neither of whom could properly swim), got into difficulties after trying to swim to the shore at Pelaw Wood.

Michelsen was rescued by the coach of a nearby Hatfield crew, while Parsons died in the incident, with other students either swimming to shore or picked up in the water by a passing St John's boat.
