Crisfield Nautical Chart
The crab capital of the world sits at the mouth of the Little Annemessex River on Tangier Sound. The chart covers the straightforward marked approach from the Sound, the harbor channel past the ferry docks, and Somers Cove — one of the largest marinas on the Eastern Shore and an easy first landfall. Good jumping-off point for Smith and Tangier islands.
