Tilghman
Island Situated about 10 miles from St Michaels, Tilghman Island is really another world. Surrounded by the Chesapeake it is an authentic fisherman’s village dating back three centuries. This was the fishing center of the Chesapeake, the home of the Bay Watermen, who developed the log canoes and skipjacks, venerable watercraft symbols of the Chesapeake. There are only a few skipjacks left,  providing a unique
link to the past and Tilghman Island is the home of the last commercial
sailing fleet in the country.The rich history of the island is characterized by the colorful accents of the islanders, dating back to their heritage in the English Lowlands. There are only 900 residents here who are well known for their industrious and hospitable lifestyle. There are lots of attractions for a small island. How about a sailing trip on an old skipjack, or fly fishing for sea bass on a charter boat or a trip around the bay visiting historic lighthouses? When you are hungry take your choice of rustic seafood restaurants overlooking the waterways or dining in an atmosphere of quiet sophistication at one of the charming inns. Tilghman Island – it’s worth the effort to come here! |
