Travers (Anchor of Hope) Cemetery - Endangered Maryland (sitios de interés)

This cemetery, located on Middle Hooper's Island, contains more than 150 graves of ancestors of present day Dorchester County and Maryland residents and their slaves. The site was listed in 2011 due to rising sea levels in the Chesapeake Bay that are eroding the edge of the cemetery. This has already caused two survey markers and the grave of a 9-month old child to fall into the bay. While the community participates in periodic clean-up efforts, it is hoped this listing will help raise the funds and volunteers.
