Bloodsworth Island

Bloodsworth Island is an island in the Chesapeake Bay. It lies in southern Dorchester County, Maryland.[1] For much of the 20th century, it was used as a naval gunnery range. Due to extensive contamination by unexploded ordnance, the island is currently off-limits to the public.
