Levator Boatworks is a manufacturer of racing shells.
History
Levator Boatworks Limited was launched in 1994, by boat builder - designer Jurgen Kaschper in London, Ontario, Canada. The company builds three series of single rowing racing shells.
The Racer Series are composite material boats designed for competitive racing rowing clubs and individuals.
The InStep Series are composite racing singles designed with Levator's innovation: the ergonomic InStep system that increases stability and reduces the amount of tuck required to get in and out of the shell. Levator Boatworks successfully developed the INstep system in 1996. This award-winning innovation changes the cockpit design by lowering the centre portion of the seat deck to the keel to lower the center of gravity of the rower stepping into the boat. The INstep project was a collaboration between Levator and the University of Waterloo-Faculty of Architecture.
The Mahogany Series are advanced hybrid wooden shells, which combine modern carbon/kevlar/ with mahogany veneers. Levator Boatworks is one of the remaining commercial wooden rowing shell manufacturers remaining in the world.
In 2007, the Levator Boatworks moved its production facilities to Dorchester, Ontario, east of London.

Historical leaders have been identified based on the estimated territorial extent of the lands they personally conquered during military campaigns. These leaders undertook expansions that significantly affected the political, economic, and cultural landscapes of their regions. Estimates of the territories conquered are derived from a range of historical studies and documented sources.
The conquests included in this article span from the nomadic confederations of Central Asia to established dynasties in the Middle East, Europe, and South Asia. Figures represent the approximate maximum area under the direct control or influence of each leader during their campaigns. For comparative purposes, these data follow methods similar to those used by historians such as Rein Taagepera, who analyzed the size and duration of historical empires based on records of changing territorial boundaries.
This article lists the 15 list of conquerors by territorial extent of their conquests. The areas of each conqueror's empire may not match the areas of their empires, as some conquerors did not actively annex the conquered territories.
