Sailors, soldiers, rum chasers, sub chasers and yachters have tied
up in Stamford Harbor since the 1640s. The history of this
Connecticut waterfront is as diverse as the people who have walked
its docks, and columnist and former dockmaster Karen Jewell takes
readers through its maritime history, landmarks and unforgettable
characters. Jewell explores the history of such institutions as the
Stamford Yacht Club and Yacht Haven, now Brewer's Marina, which
have anchored premier yachters like William F. Buckley Jr., Harry
Connick Jr. and the Forbes family to Stamford. Come aboard for a
journey through time and sea, and learn how the Stamford waterfront
transformed from a Native American settlement to the bustling port
and destination it is today.
