Interesting feature in the Baltimore Sun today about the fall of the last house on Holland Island in the Chesapeake Bay. In 1880, more than 300 people lived on the island, but since then the sea level around Maryland has risen a little more than a foot. Not much for hilly country, but in the flat lands around the Chesapeake Bay this has been enough to send half a dozen inhabited islands under the waves.
