George's Island, MD - Abandoned

Abandoned fishing community. "Stockton, once known as Sandy Hill, stood out a century ago as a water-oriented town noted for its famous "Chincoteague" oysters. The commercial fishing operations here played a significant role in the prosperity of the area. After the 1933 hurricane, the seafood industry and, in particular, oystering, rapidly declined. Fifteen oyster packing houses were destroyed during the storm and most were never rebuilt. The permanent salt-water influx from the Ocean City inlet has since allowed for oceangoing drills and parasites to decimate the oyster population." Taken with panasonic ZS3/TZ7

Would be interested in any other abandoned homes, schools, hospitals anyone might know about, especially in MD/DE/VA.
