Lovely piece. Wonderful description of the island—physical and historical and cultural. I’m a Native Virginian who has been to every Virginia other than a few close to Tennessee and Kentucky. But I’ve never been to Tangier, despite a lifelong interest in the place. I have been to Smith Island, MD, just to the north. And I have been to Skagway, Alaska! Took a train ride between there and the Yukon.
Very interesting article, and quite well-written. Your observations evoke thoughts about how technology and the power of money have replaced nature as our greatest challenges as individuals.
