Synopsis

Excerpt from A Guide to Providence River and Narrangansett Bay: From Providence to Newport The pleasure of an excursion is greatly increased by a knowledge of the places which are passed, and the events of which they were the scenes. In this way instruction is blended with enjoyment. In Rhode Island "The Excursion" is an established institution. Thousands of individuals go down the river every year to enjoy a pleasant sail, the refreshing coolness of the sea air, a delightful bath, good fishing, a clam bake and fish chowder. During the warm season, four or five steamers make double trips daily from Providence to Newport, or the shore," and are generally crowded with passengers. It was thought therefore that a Guide, which would give in a brief compass the desired information would be a welcome companion. That is the object of the present work.
