There's  an island off the Carolina coast, which, until they got a bridge  and
satellite TV, had an almost perfect version of a 16th century  eastern
English accent

Ocracoke Island STILL doesn't have a bridge. Remnants of this accent can be  
heard on the coast of all the mid-Atlantic states, but it was particularly 
acute  on the almost inaccessible Outer Banks Of NC. We used to call people who 
spoke  that way "Hoi Toiders" [High Tiders].
