The last house on Holland Island
This picture is not from a fairy tale. Holland Island is located in the Chesapeake Bay on the Holland Strait, between Bloodsworth Island and Smith Island. The island was inhabited by sailors and farmers in a growing fishing community.
But over the decades, the bay’s rising waters and the land’s natural subsidence have consumed the island. The last house on Holland Island remained rebellious for over a century until its collapse in October 2010.
