Coast Guard exploring Anchorage Near Cape Charles

July 24, 2016 by Wayne Creed Leave a Comment

Sometimes as you gaze westward across the Bay, you may see large cargo ships, anchored a few miles offshore. If the Coast Guard has its way, those large ships may be more up close and personal, anchored right off Cape Charles Harbor, very near to the old Plantation Light. The US Coast Guard is currently exploring the possibility of creating a new anchorage just outside of Cape Charles. While this may create a business opportunities for some, it will certainly alter the visual landscape of this coastal community. Below is the full press release, and details on the upcoming public hearing to take place in Norfolk:
