Tangier Island Part 3 - Departing from History

"Tangier is about 11 miles from the nearest mainland - Crisfield MD about 11 miles away on the eastern shore as the crow flies. On the western shore lies Reedville VA about 14 miles away. I learned from the history book I had bought the day before that most of the history claimed on the island's historical marker is incorrect."
