Abstract
It is shown that a fracture in an elastic plate floating on the surface of a shallow liquid layer is a waveguide along which wave energy can be transported. The edge wave velocity is less than the velocity of flexural-gravity waves. The existence of an antisymmetric edge wave mode depends on the Poisson's ratio of the elastic plate.
