Town and island in Chesapeake Bay
POPULARITY
Virginia's Eastern Shore has a distinct way of living–and eating. And looking at the environment and economy of the Eastern Shore, there are some big changes on the horizon. Virginia Folklife Director Katy Clune digs in and asks: What are the cultural values of the region today? Scientists and policy makers talk about climate resilience. What about cultural resilience? Later in the show: Jessica Taylor has been recording oral histories in Eastern Virginia for nearly two decades. She says the people she's spoken to paint a picture of migration in the area. How do some families manage to keep their land and their roots while others are pushed out? And: Tangier Island is the last inhabited island in Virginia that's only reachable by boat. And because of rapid environmental changes, it's becoming an increasingly difficult place to live. Lincoln Lewis first visited Tangier Island to study the crab houses used by fishermen there, but has since moved to the island. He's studying how locals consider long-term planning for the island.

Title: Languaging in Hampton Roads Episode 10: The Ebb and Flow of Coastal Carolina Languages Hosts: Prue Salasky and Jill Winkowski Date: Oct. 31, 2024 Length: 34.15 min Publication Frequency: Fourth Friday (approx) of each month Co-hosts Prue Salasky and Jill Winkowski delve into the history and language of Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, part of the Outer Banks, OBX, of North Carolina, our neighbors to the south and part of our geographical culture in Hampton Roads. They interview two experts on the region. Scott Dawson, whose family traces its roots back to the 1600s on Hatteras, has devoted countless hours to researching the language and culture of the Croatoan people and their early encounters with English settlers. An amateur archaeologist and historian, he has identified artifacts and produced word lists of the Carolina Algonquian spoken on Hatteras Island when the first English settlers arrived in the 16th century. (https://www.coastalcarolinaindians.com/category/research-databases/blair-a-rudes-indigenous-language-collection/). He credits the efforts of English scientist and polymath Thomas Harriot (Hariot) working with Croatoans Manteo and Wanchese for much of what's known today about the indigenous residents, their culture and language. We also learn more about Thomas Harriot and his scientific accomplishments, among the greatest of his generation. Dawson is a founder of the Croatoan Archaeological Society (http://www.cashatteras.com) and also opened a museum on Hatteras to tell a different version of the “lost colony” of Roanoke Island (https://www.lostcolonymuseum.com). . Linguistically, sociolinguist Prof. Walt Wolfram, William C. Friday Distinguished University Professor at N.C. State, places the dialects spoken on the Outer Banks islands as part of the Tidewater diaspora. For example, the brogue spoken on Ocracoke, he says, is closer to that of Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay than to that of nearby mainland communities. A scholar of language variation, Wolfram contrasts the vibrancy of the distinctive English dialect of the Lumbee in Robeson County with the rapidly declining use of Ocracoke's traditional dialect. He is also the director of the North Carolina Language and Life Project which documents dialects and speech variations. Listeners can find speech samples for the Lumbee, Ocracoke Islanders and many more by searching for The North Carolina Language and Life Project on YouTube. The changes in language use and dialect over 400 years in these coastal communities first tells the story of English settlement and its impact on indigenous communities. Then ongoing changes reveal shifting demographics and how geography intersects with language and identity.
Join Ben, Brian, and Ted as they explore unique flying adventure ideas that go beyond the typical "$100 hamburger" flight. From discovering hidden gems like Alabama's Ave Maria Grotto to planning hobby-based trips (like flying for 25 cent blackberries), the guys share inspiration for memorable flights. Amidst the hangar talk, you'll hear tales of airport fence jumping, "information whiskey" style tangents, and Ted's inability to pronounce "fly fly fly fishing." Brian also resurrects his dream to visit Tangier Island before it's underwater. 100th episode is coming up! Oct 28, 4G7 Fairmont West Virginia.

Tangier Island im US-Gliedstaat Virginia kämpft seit Jahrzehnten mit dem steigenden Meeresspiegel. Das Wasser unterspült Häuser und bricht sogar alte Gräber auf – das hindert die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner aber nicht daran, auf wundersame Hilfe zu hoffen.

VIRGINIA, USA — Tangier Island sits in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay between the Eastern Shore and the Northern Neck of Virginia, accessible only by boat or a small plane. Everyone knows everyone, cars are replaced by golf carts and bikes, a unique dialect is spoken and being on the water is a way of life. "People out here are the watermen and they're pretty self-reliant, but this issue of the erosion is something bigger than we can handle on our own," said James Eskridge, better known as Ooker. Eskridge is Tangier-born and raised, with a long family history on the island. "My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather were all crabbers," he said. More than a crabber, he's also been the town's mayor for the past 15 years. "It would be unthinkable just to abandon this and start over somewhere," Eskridge said. But for the residents of Tangier, it's a race against Mother Nature. Coastal erosion is one part of the equation, sea level rise is another. Whether it's a nor'easter or tropical storm, four to five times a year more and more of the island gets inundated. Since 1850, Tangier Island has lost two-thirds of its landmass and surrounding neighbors. "I've seen islands disappear, some islands around Tangier," Eskridge said. "We've lost about six or seven other smaller communities that used to be around Tangier. They're just underwater now. They had no means to get protection for their community, so they just abandoned their community, and they're just underwater now. So that's what we don't want to happen here."

"I'd never heard of Smith Island, I'd always heard of Tangier Island. And when my kids were little, my husband said let's take the kids to Smith Island. And I was like, well, where's that? So he brought me here and I fell in love with the place," said Kathey Jones, owner and baker at the Smith Island Bakery. Kathey Jones grew up in Baltimore and always had a passion for baking. She didn't think she would venture out to this tiny island located in the Chesapeake Bay but it is now her home and her bakery is the popular tourist spot as the Maryland state cake is baked their everyday. "When I moved to the island, the women of the island were the hardest working bunch of women I've ever met and they taught me how to bake these cakes. My first two attempts were complete disasters, and I always bought them from one of the women. But once they showed me all the little tips and tricks and secrets that they knew it, it kind of became very easy for me with my baking experience already," said Kathey.Prior to Kathey taking over the facility she bakes in today, another company was baking Smith Island cakes there but they decided it was easier to bake and ship cakes on the mainland. When Kristan decided she wanted to go out to Smith Island she wanted to make sure she interviewed a baker who was baking her favorite cake on the island. "I opened it in hopes that I could create more jobs so that more people can move here full time and stay living here," said Kathey.Kathey ships out tons of cakes per week and it isn't the easiest job. She delivers the cakes to the mail boat and then the mail boat takes them to the post office to get shipped. While its a challenge, it keeps things authentic and many of her customers keep coming back for more knowing that the cakes are being handmade on the island the recipe originated from.To learn more about Smith Island and the Maryland state cake, tune into the episode and visit their website at, https://smithislandbakeryllc.com/. Also, for more information on the Smith Island Inn, the inn Kristan stayed at, visit https://www.smithislandinn.com/. You can find more information on the coffee roaster and local restaurants on the island here.Lastly, here is more information on the featured musician, The Dangerous Summer. Kristan went to high school with the lead singer.
A father and son working a crab boat in Chesapeake Bay were caught in a rising storm when they realized that something was very wrong: water was coming up through the floor. They radioed for help and then did everything they could to save themselves, while the isolated community of Tangier Island quickly launched a desperate bid to rescue two of their own. So began the saga of the Henrietta C., a riveting story chronicled in Outside by Virginia-based writer Earl Swift.

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. In the years since, as residents have come and gone and rebuilt their lives, a lot has changed about the city-- including, says Katie Carmichael (Virginia Tech), the way people talk. The author of Sudden Spring, Rick Van Noy (Radford University) says that, in many Southern communities, climate change is already here. Later in the show: Residents of Tangier Island could become some of America’s first climate refugees—unless they get a much needed sea wall. Through a partnership with Google, a Virginia project is hoping to raise awareness of Tangier’s plight by allowing people from anywhere in the world to visit the endangered island—virtually. Hundreds of thousands of citizens of island nations stand to lose their homes to rising sea levels. Anthony Boese is studying the ethical, political, and economic decisions needed when masses of people are forced to leave their island homelands. Is there a better way to assess the potential damage of an approaching hurricane? Meteorologist Stephanie Zick (Virginia Tech) believes that studying how, where, and when hurricane loses its power can give us a more accurate picture.

Each chapter brings a different perspective to this time capsule of the island and the struggles it faces. Partly auto biographical, biographical, historical, location piece and even culinary this book traces the effects climate change is having on this island and how it effects the hardy people who inhabit it.

Scientists believe Tangier Island, in the Virginia waters of the Chesapeake Bay, could vanish within the next 25 years. Two-thirds of Tangier's land mass has disappeared since the time of the Civil War, and in recent years sea-level rise caused by global warming took more acres from the island. Fewer than 500 people remain there. Many of them voted for Donald J. Trump, share his rejection of climate change as the reason for their existential challenge and insist that a seawall around the island would save it from further ----wave erosion.---- The deeply religious islanders have frequently been in the media spotlight, often the subject of derision and ridicule for their climate change denials and support of Trump. Journalist and author Earl Swift spent more than a year on Tangier, learning about the island way of life and the work of the watermen who've harvested blue crabs and oysters for generations. Swift has written an elegiac book about the place and the people who could well become the Chesapeake's first climate change refugees. The book is, ----Chesapeake Requiem: A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island,---- published by Harper Collins.In this episode: A talk with Swift following his appearance at the 2018 Baltimore Book Festival; excerpts of a CBS News report, a Stephen Colbert monologue and ----Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.----
“It seemed like everyone knew what to think but me.” Elaina Plott landed not one but two stories in the Sunday Long Read newsletter last week. The first was a cover story for Pacific Standard magazine about the residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, and their unique relationship with God, Trump, and climate change, which scientists say is likely to wipe their island from the map within the next 25 years. Her second story was a personal reflection on gun violence for The Atlantic, where she is a staff writer. In this week's episode, Elaina and Jacob discuss the details of both stories, the intersections of personal and political discourse, the way Elaina (an Alabaman who went to Yale and works in D.C.) approaches her work, and more.

Tangier Island, Virginia, has been home for eight generations to a unique community of now some 470 hardy souls, many of whom make their living harvesting the region’s prized blue crab. But their island home -- a barely 2-acre sliver of mud and sand and grass in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay -- is fast disappearing beneath the waters. Whether the culprit is erosion by the Bay’s relentless currents, as most Islanders believe, or the rising sea levels scientists say have been triggered by global climate change, the outlook for Tangier Island and its people is bleak. Today, Midday senior producer and guest host Rob Sivak spends the hour with Virginia-based writer Earl Swift, a long-time reporter at the Virginia-Pilot who has spent more than 30 years writing about the Chesapeake region, and who has circumnavigated the Bay in his kayak. The Chesapeake is the setting of Swift's newest book -- his seventh -- which chronicles the daily lives and hopes of the Tangier Islanders, against a backdrop of environmental and political forces that seem beyond their control. The book is called Chesapeake Requiem: A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island, published by Dey Street Books (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers).
Climate change, global warming, conservation, pollution are at the heart of the conversation when Halli visits with two authors who have spent years studying the subjects, Susan Hand Shatterly whose delightful new book is SEAWEED CHRONICLES, A WORLD AT THE WATER'S EDGE, and with journalist Earl Swift, whose new book is the riveting CHESAPEAKE REQUIEM, A YEAR WITH THE WATERMEN OF VANISHING TANGIER ISLAND, the podcast posted 3 pm ET at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.For much of the past two years, award-winning journalist Earl Swift lived and reported on a tiny island in Virginia. The resulting book, CHESAPEAKE REQUIEM, A YEAR WITH THE WATERMAN OF VANISHING TANGIER ISLAND, is an elegiac portrait of an isolated community, a sweeping natural history of an extraordinary ecosystem, and a timely meditation on dire environmental realities that extend far beyond the shores of Tangier -- which seems likely to succumb first among U.S. towns to the effects of climate change. First mapped by Jon Smith in 1608, settled during the Revolution, the tiny sliver of mud and marsh is home to 470 hardy people who live with one foot on the twenty-first century and another in times long passed. They are separated from their countrymen by twelve miles of often tempestuous water -- water that for generations has made Tangier a chief source for the prized Chesapeake Bay blue crab. But the very water that has long sustained Tangier now erases it day by day. Experts believe that barring heroic intervention by the federal government, islanders will soon be forced to abandon their homes. And the question remains should the federal government save this tiny island or surrender it to the sea. After all, thousands of American communities are being swallowed up by the sea. The American government can't save them all.In SEAWEED CHRONICLES Susan Hand Shetterly pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of seaweed. Did I say seaweed? Yes that is correct. Seaweed, not a weed at all, is one sexy little algae. It is ancient and basic, a testament to the tenacious beginnings of life on earth and “Why wouldn't seaweeds be a protean life source for the lives that have evolved since?” Shetterly asks in her new book small in size and large in lyrical prose. Shetterly explores all the wonders of the natural world anew through a richly informative and astonishingly elegant storytelling. Through her own research and through interviews, she offers a look into the extraordinary life cycle of seaweed, teaching readers about its role in local environments and its interconnected global significance. Shetterly also introduces us to the people and communities that depend on seaweed—and how they are working to protect this critical natural resource. Most importantly, Shetterly examines the big questions of conservation that have come to light. “What must remain wild for the health of the planet, and what can we responsibly take, as we face climate change and diminishing natural resources?” she asks. Note, it's almost impossible to go through a day without encountering seaweed somewhere in your life, as you will soon discover.Climate change, global warming, the environment, conservation, seaweed, Tangier Island, Donald Trump the subjects of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show the podcast posted at Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.
Earl Swift has paddled the entire James River, circumnavigated the Chesapeake Bay and, for his latest book, spent 14 months living among our most isolated fellow Virginian's on an island in the Chesapeake Bay -- an island that in 50 years, scientists say won't exist.
James Eskridge, the mayor of Tangier Island, Va., describes his home in the Chesapeake Bay and how the waves are eating away at the shoreline. He says it is due to erosion, not sea level rise. Don Boesch, an environmental science professor at the University of Maryland, says it is at least partly due to sea level rise, and it could get worse. And Chelsea Harvey, Climatewire's science reporter, explains just how much worse it could get even if we stop emissions right now, or in five years. "Waters on track to rise for centuries, even if emissions stop" (Climatewire, 02/21/2018), by Chelsea Harvey: www.eenews.net/climatewire/stories/1060074341 "Trump's advice about rising oceans is 'ridiculous'" (Climatewire, 05/21/2017), by Scott Waldman: www.eenews.net/climatewire/stories/1060056069
Tangier Island, a tiny spit of land in Virginia's Chesapeake Bay, is sinking -- and fast. Without a new sea wall, its residents may become America's first climate refugees. Now, a new project is virtually mapping the island before it disappears beneath the waves. *** Explore Google's interactive map of Tangier Island from this page: http://virginiahumanities.org/2017/08/virtual-tour-of-climate-change-endangered-tangier/

Ever wonder what Shakespeare’s plays actually sounded like 400 years ago? David Crystal is a linguist and author who has researched Original Pronunciation, or OP, the accent with which actors in Shakespeare’s day would have spoken their lines. And Daniel Fromson tells the modern-day story of a man who set sail for Tangier Island on which it’s rumored OP still exists. Plus: Getting the accent right is not the only challenge in reading Elizabethan English. Paul D’Andrea has spent years trying to pull the big ideas out of Shakespeare’s plays. D’Andrea was named Outstanding Faculty of 2015 by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Later in the show: With seven unpublished novels wasting away on his hard drive, Tony Vanderwarker was astonished when world-renowned author John Grisham offered to take him under his wing and mentor Tony on the art of thriller writing. Plus: Novelist Carrie Brown draws inspiration from her years as a small-town America journalist, and from the mysteries of the cosmos. Her new book The Stargazer’s Sister tells the story of two remarkable sibling astronomers whose work led to the discovery of the planet Uranus.
