Kevin Duffus

Kevin DuffusKevin P. Duffus is an award-winning filmmaker, researcher, author, and investigative journalist of historical events. He has published three books and produced four documentary films on various maritime history topics, including shipwrecks, lighthouses, and the devastating German U-boat attacks off our coast in 1942.

In 2002,  Duffus solved the long-standing mystery of the missing 1854 Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Fresnel lens,  once described by Lighthouse Digest magazine as one of the great-unsolved mysteries of American lighthouse history.  The amazing history and odyssey of the lens is told in Duffus’ book, The Lost Light - A Civil War Mystery.

Shipwrecks of the Outer Banks features over 250 photographs of past and present shipwrecks and wreck artifacts, along with GPS locations and directions to dozens of wreck sites. The book includes new research on historic sites altered by inlet migration and a tribute to the forgotten heroes of the islands.

Duffus published The Last Days of Blackbeard the Pirate, a detailed examination of the famous seafaring rogue’s final six months in North Carolina. The controversial book presents stunning contradictions to traditional historical accounts about Black Beard’s origins, his travels and motivations as a pirate, his death, and the identity and fate of his most trusted crew members.

His most recent book is War Zone, about German U-boat attacks off the coast of NC during WWII.
