Home About the Author Media Praise




Originally conceived by Robert F. Duncan in 1937, the Guide became an instant success, and it has remained in print ever since.

The revised twelfth edition has been researched and written by Robert C. and Roger S. Duncan, grandson and great-grandson, respectively, of the Guide's originator.

In addition, coauthor W. Wallace Fenn's son, Paul Fenn, has assisted in updating coverage of Long Island Sound north and east to Cape Code Canal.

All the authors -- who know these storied cruising grounds as old friends -- relate the histories of the towns, ports, vessels, lighthouse, and even rocks they've encountered.

Paul W. Fenn
