Sedgwick, Maine
From W.R. “Bill” Cheney: “My good friend Clinton Trowbridge, author of ‘The Crow Island Journal’ and ‘The Boat That Wouldn’t Sink’ died on June 24 at his home. He was a wonderful gentleman, educator, sailor, and adventurer who will be missed by all who know him. You may remember that Points East published my review of ‘The Boat That Wouldn’t Sink’ several years ago.”
Born in New York City, Clinton Trowbridge was a retired professor and author of three other books: “The Man Who Walked Around the World” (with David Kunst), “Into the Remote Places” (with Ian Hibell), and “Grotties Don’t Kiss.”
Trowbridge’s personal essays and articles appeared in “The Christian Science Monitor,” “Harper’s,” “Readers Digest,” “The Maine Times,” and many other newspapers and magazines. He published over 80 essays. Most of his work was autobiographical and inspired variously by pleasure, pain, embarrassment, and an appetite for misadventure. He was a singer, sailor, and an armchair adventurer. He resided in Maine, with his wife Elaine.
