Chesapeake Requiem: A Year With The Watermen Of Vanishing Tangier Island

"Journalist Earl Swift spent more than a year living on Tangier Island, an isolated – and swiftly eroding – scrap of land in the Chesapeake Bay. He went out with the watermen searching for crabs, watched the summer tourists descend and leave again, and dug into the island’s unique history of religious revivalism to produce this deep, nuanced portrait of a place that’s already profoundly affected by stronger storms and rising seas, but where the islanders went solidly for Donald Trump, resist the idea of climate change, and trust in God to keep them safe."
