Going back in time | Tangier Island, Chesapeake Bay |
Visiting Tangier Island, Virginia is like going thru a time warp. This tiny Island has been continuously inhabited since the 1700's.
Decendants of the families which originally settled this Isle still reside there.
Primary source of income has always been fishing. Sadly this profession is becoming as endangered as the fish. |

Fascinating page. I'm always intrigued by such offbeat spots. I visited nearby Smith Island several years ago, but sill want to go to Tangier. | kymbanm Mon Jul 23, 2007 01:50 UTC
