First–hey, thanks: Year-over-year website traffic jumped a whopping 55.9 percent in 2023!
I have divided my annual list of the year’s most viral stories into two categories–the most popular newish stories, written recently and posted for the first time (those stories are here), and the most popular year-in-and-year out classic stories that are always popular on the site.
Here goes with the classics:
• “Now I’m Almost Home!” The Death and Funeral of Harriet Tubman, 1913
• How a Big Hurricane on Aug. 22, 1933 Created the Ocean City We Know Today
• The Great Eastern Shore Deep Freeze of 1976-77
• Character of the Day: The Delaware Housewife Who Invented the Modern Chicken Industry
• The Day the Eastern Shore Ruled the Super Bowl
• Six Bridges Over Troubled Water: A Dreadful Day in Chincoteague, 1922
• The True Tale of Misty, Stormy, and Maybe the Worst Nor’easter of Them All
• Fall of an ‘Ancient Warrior:’ The Cape Henlopen Lighthouse Collapses, 1926
• The Story Behind the Magical Old Carousel of Ocean City
• The Ghost Ships of Kiptopeke
