| Summary: | This book surveys the changing fortunes of the bay's forty-odd islands - from Garrett in the north to Gwynn's and James in the south. Retired oceanographer William B. Cronin used historical nautical charts, current data from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and colonial and state records to document the erosion, loss of marsh land, and islands that have completely disappeared beneath the water's surface. On Holland, rising water in the late 1910s forced townspeople to move their houses by barge to the mainland. On Barren, a sizable hunting lodge housed guests as late as the 1970s but by 1985 had become a wreck beneath the water. This book features photographs from celebrated Maryland photographer A. Aubrey Bodine. |
