Tilghman

The sightseeing boat this afternoon is called Sharp’s Island. The captain is Mike Richards. As he pilots the boat away from Tilghman Island in Maryland, it glides by beautiful homes near the water. Some of the homes have yachts and other very nice boats tied a short walk from their back door.

Tilghman Island is a small community on Maryland's eastern shore. Like many towns along the Chesapeake Bay, it is a haven for people who enjoy tranquility on the waterfront. Take a short boat ride from Tilghman across the open water and you soon arrive at Poplar Island, a strip of land that is even more remote, and uninhabited.
