"What is a rowboat?
Rowboats, as opposed to canoes and kayaks, are propelled by oars that are held in place at a pivot point attached to the boat, the oarlocks (also called rowlocks). These pivot point do not change their position as the boat is rowed. This pivot point is a fulcrum if the oar is a lever.

Rowers typically face the stern of the boat. Various clever mechanisms have been tried to allow the rower to face forward but none so far have been widely adopted

Here is the page I wrote on forward facing rowing.

Some boats are rowed facing forward such as Venician gondolas, or Chinese sculled boats. There is also a long tradition of fishermen in the Canadian and US east coats facing forward and leaning on to their oars. They are generally standing and using an extended oarlock stem. Since this is a practical way of rowing I'm sure it occurs throughout the world."
