What kind of boat?

Um, "row" can also mean "an argument" [1], not just "to use oars on a rowboat". Nobody's talking about any boat here...

Lol...yea the word "row" can mean many things

Now imagine if all the protestors got on their boats, and picketed the dock. that would certainly get the message across

That'd be a sight to see.

aha, British English at work. Apparently it's pronounced RAU

The original headline "Row over burial site for Polish President" runs like an action verb, like "March over bridge for Human Rights in Yangon"

Well, the title has been changed to something hopefully more comprehensible. "Burial site for Polish president Lech Kaczynski draws objections" Is this any better? (although i agree, the former title could have easily been misunderstood.)

I wanted to see rioters with oars and boats. Oh well.

Me too, i'm disappointed.
