Before clicking on the link, I thought it would be and article about Tangier. A friend flew my sister and me down there many years ago. The accent was definitely unique, but calling it Elizabethan seems a bit of a stretch. We did have some of the best crab I ever ate there. Sadly, the island is disappearing, due to sea level rise.
