Holland Island Bar Light

Holland Island Bar Light, Chesapeake Bay Lighthouse ToursHolland Island Bar Light, Chesapeake Bay Lighthouse Tours

The lighthouse that is pictured on the left was built in 1889 off of Holland Island, Maryland, which at the time was a fishing community. It was used to mark Holland Strait, a body of water linking the Chesapeake Bay to Tangier Sound. This lighthouse is remembered most by the strange death of its keeper, Ulman Owens in 1931. When he was found dead, there was blood at the scene and signs of a struggle. However, there were no wounds on his body, and his death was eventually ruled natural. Another thing that this lighthouse is remembered for happened in 1957, when Navy fighter pilots mistook the lighthouse for a target ship that was and still is situated a few miles away. Practice rockets hit the light, damaging the roof and the walls. Miraculously, the four keepers who were on the light survived, and were evacuated by the Coast Guard. In 1960, the lighthouse was automated, and house was dismantled, leaving what can be seen in the picture to the right.

 

We offer full and half-day Chesapeake Bay Maryland fishing charters off of Maryland's Eastern Shore, fishing for rockfish (stripers or striped bass), bluefish, croakers, Spanish mackerel, and other species. We also offer Chesapeake Bay lighthouse cruises, nature cruises and other Chesapeake Bay tours, floating crab feasts, and cruises to various destinations along the Chesapeake Bay. We are located on Hoopers Island, about 40 minutes south of Cambridge, Maryland. Regardless of the size of your group, or the uniqueness of your occasion, there is nothing that we can't handle! Come join us for a memorable experience on the Chesapeake Bay!
