Summary
| Description |
English: Tangier Island is in the Chesapeake Bay. It is part of Virginia.
The island was discovered by John Smith in 1608. It was settled in the 1770's. At one time, there were 1500 residents on the island. Today, there are about 400. Because of sea level rise, approximately 67% of the island has disappeared since 1850. Its expected that within 50 years, the island will be gone. On October 1, 2021, Judy and I took a ferry from Onancock, VA, to the island. A view of downtown Tangier. We had a wonderful lunch at Lorraine's Seafood Restaurant. The cream of crab soup was outstanding! We actually went back for seconds. Most residents get around on golf carts. On the extended golf carts, you can get a 15-minute (that's all the time you need!) tour of the island for $5. |
