Nonsuch Island

Nonsuch Island, früher Nonesuch Island genannt, ist eine kleine Insel im Nordosten der westatlantischen Inselgruppe Bermuda. Das Eiland liegt zwischen der Südwestspitze von Saint David’s Island und Castle Island und bildet das nordöstlichste Glied der bermudischen Castle Islands. Geographie Die halbmondförmige Insel mit einer Landfläche von ungefähr 0,05 km² ist dicht bewachsen und ragt an den höchsten Stellen maximal 16 Meter über den Meeresspiegel hinaus. Sie grenzt westlich an die bermudische Naturbucht Castle Harbour und östlich an das offene Meer des Westatlantiks. Geschichte Die Insel wurde (vermutlich) bereits im Zuge der Erstbesiedlung von Bermuda (1612) durch die Engländer entdeckt. Erst 1865 errichtete man hier eine Quarantäne-Station für an Gelbfieber Erkrankte. Die Quarantäne-Station ist heute nicht mehr in Betrieb. Flora und Fauna Auf Nonsuch Island, seit mehreren Jahren ein Naturreservat, finden sich unter anderem Brutkolonien der (seltenen) Bermuda-Sturmvögel (engl.: Cahow), des Nationalvogels von Bermuda.

Nonsuch Island, Bermuda

Nonsuch Island (originally Nonesuch Island) is part of the chain of islands which make up Bermuda. It is in St George's Parish, in the northeast of Bermuda. It is 5.7 ha (14 acres) in area and is at the east entrance to Castle Harbour, close to the south-easternmost point of Cooper's Island (cojoined with the much larger St David's Island by the construction of Kindley Field by the United States Army during the Second World War). Among the island's charted features is a bay called Nonsuch Bay. History In 1865 it served as a yellow fever quarantine hospital. On the eastern part of the island there still remains a small cemetery. In 1930 it served as a base for William Beebe and Otis Barton's landmark bathysphere dive. Environment The island is a wildlife sanctuary. It is wooded and with a small freshwater marsh; access to the public is strictly limited. The restoration of the once barren island into a 'Living Museum of pre-colonial Bermuda' is the lifetime work of now retired Bermudian ornithologist and conservationist David B. Wingate, and part of his effort to bring back from near-extinction the once plentiful endemic nocturnal seabird, and national emblem of Bermuda, the cahow. This project involves the reintroduction of other species, notably the West Indian topshell. Accounts written at the time of Bermuda's settlement leave no doubt that herons and egrets of several species were resident and breeding on the island. Diego Ramirez (in Wilkinson 1950) describing the events of his shipwreck on Bermuda in 1603, wrote of "the many very large dark herons" and Sylvanus Jourdain, (in Lefroy 1877), a survivor of the Sea Venture shipwreck of 1609 that led to British settlement, reported in 1610 that "there are also great store and plenty of herons and those so familiar and tame that we beat them down from the trees with stones and staves, but such were young herons. Besides many white herons without so much as a black or grey feather on them." Likewise, William Strachey (in Lefroy 1877), another survivor of the Sea Venture and the official chronicler of the Virginia expedition, wrote of the "white and grey Hernshawes and bittons." The endemic, and critically endangered Bermuda skink (Plestiodon longirostris), otherwise known as the Bermudian rock lizard, is also known to have a population on Nonsuch Island.

Paget Island

Paget Island is an island in the St. George's Parish of the British overseas territory of Bermuda. It is located near a channel that connects the St. George's Harbor with the Atlantic ocean. It forms part of the Castle Group of islands, along with Darrell's Island and Nonsuch Island. Paget Island is named after William Paget, 4th Baron Paget, who worked with the Virginia Company, which discovered Bermuda. The island's prominent feature is Fort Cunningham, which was first built in 1612 and has been restored several times over the years. The island has a freshwater pond, and supports mangroves and other biota. Etymology Paget Island is named after William Paget, 4th Baron Paget of Beaudesert, who worked with the Virginia Company, which discovered Bermuda while on the way to set up trade in Virginia on the eastern coast of the United States. It was also known as Peniston's or Pennystones. History The Paget Island and nearby Smith's Island were used as whaling centers. The island's prominent feature is Fort Cunningham. A fortified structure was constructed in 1612 by Richard Moore, the first Governor of Bermuda. A gun platform and additional coastal batteries were built in the 17th century to defend against enemy ships approaching the nearby St. George's Harbor. The fort was repaired several times over the years, and was used to house prisoners of war in the mid 18th century. In 1791, it was severely damaged by a storm, and was repaired extensively. In 1797, British captain Francis Forbes Hinson bought the island and developed it as a farmland, and used it for whaling. He abandoned it later after suffering losses. The fort was rebuilt in 1875, and was renamed after British captain Thomas Cunningham. During the reconstruction, it was equipped with metal reinforced defensive shields and large gun turrets. In the early 20th century, the island was not used and the fort fell into disrepair. During the Second World War, the fort was used as a prisoner of war camp by the British War Department. It housed a juvenile training school from 1948 to the 1960s. Geography Paget Island is located in the St. George's Parish of Bermuda. The 36 acres (15 ha) island is located near a channel that connects the St. George's Harbor with the Atlantic ocean. It forms part of the Castle Group of islands, along with Darrell's Island and Nonsuch Island. The island is currently managed by the Bermuda National Trust and the Bermuda Audubon Society. There is a freshwater pond which supports the mangroves, and several biota. The island had a forest cover consisting of endemic Bermuda cedar, and other mangroves, which were heavily exploited for timber by the British. The island supports several bird species. The island has been affected by pollution from runoff water. It was restored in 1998 and has a boardwalk, which allows access to the pond. Access The island itself is not allowed for regular public access. However, it is one of the nine camping sites approved by the government, that can be accessed with prior permission. There is a government run accommodation, which was upgraded in early 2026. References

Bermuda Commercial Bank

Bermuda Commercial Bank Limited (BCB) is a Bermudian bank that is one of four licensed banks in Bermuda. It has been a 100% subsidiary of Provident Holdings Limited since 2021. History BCB began by an Act of Parliament in February 1969. BCBs core banking system provides a suite of products, including online banking. In June of 2016, the BCB Group of Companies moved into a new location at 34 Bermudiana Road, Hamilton. In 2019, BCB also celebrated its 50-year anniversary of providing banking services to Bermuda and internationally.

Bermuda Arboretum

Bermuda Arboretum, lokalt ofta bara the Arboretum eller Arboretum Park, är en park och arboretum på Bermuda, en ögrupp i västra Atlanten och ett av Storbritanniens 14 utomeuropeiska territorier. Ögruppen ligger isolerat i Atlanten, cirka nittio mil öster ut från USA:s östra kust. Parken med sin samling av olika trädslag är ett av Bermudas lagenligt skyddade områden och naturreservat enligt klassificeringen B och ligger i mitten på Bermuda i området Devonshire Parish, öster om huvudstaden Hamilton. Parkens status, klass B, innebär bland annat att den är en park som ska förvaltas så att dess natur och historiska och pedagogiska värden bevaras och kan upplevas av allmänheten med ett minimum av kommersiell aktivitet. Parken rymmer både öppna ängar med vilda blommor och skogar och omfattar en yta på 0,0830 km2 (22 acres), belägen öster om Montpelier Road och norr om Middle Road. I öster och norr avgränsas parkområdet av Fort Hill Road och bebyggelse. Området ägdes fram till 1951 av den brittiska armén som då lämnade över området till Bermudas styre. Parken etablerade sig med trädgårdsprover donerade av drottning Elizabeth II från den kungliga botaniska trädgården i Kew i England, samt med olika plantor från Japan, Nya Guinea samt Kanada. I parkens sydvästra hörn längs Middle Road, nära korsningen mellan Montpelier Road och Middle Road, ligger egendomen Montpelier, ett av Bermudas historiska hus (byggt före 1750), förr residens för den brittiska arméns befälhavare i Bermuda men idag residens för Bermudas viceguvernör. Montpelier Road har fått sitt namn efter huset. Även parken kan omnämnas som Montpelier Arboretum. Idag finns ett stort och varierande växtutbud med växter från hela världen i parken, bland annat cedrar, avokadoträd, svart ebenholts och gummiträd. Parken består av olika sektioner vars innehåll skiljer sig åt med allt från barrträd till körsbärsträd till olika palmer. Parken är även ett känt fågelskyddsområde. Här kan man bland annat hitta kardinaler, östsialia, vitögd vireo samt kiskadi. Parken är öppen och gratis för allmänheten och vandrare, löpare och fågelskådare förekommer ofta i parken. I parken finns en handfull picknickplatser, liksom en cederbro och ett lusthus. Längs vandringslederna i parken finns ett tjugotal olika träningsstationer. Det hålls även återkommande mountainbike- och terränglöpningstävlingar i parken. I närheten av arboretumet, bara några hundra meter söderut i Paget Parish, ligger Bermuda Botanical Gardens, Bermudas botaniska trädgård, som också är öppen för allmänheten att besöka. Källor
Stella Maris Church, St. George's

The Stella Maris Church is the name given to a parish church of the Catholic Church. It is located at 3 Duke of Clarence Street, in the town of Saint George's of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean. History Catholic worship in St. George's had been occurring since 1849 when services were permitted in the chapel of the British Army's Bermuda Garrison. When the American Kindley Air Force Base was established during the Second World War, the American Catholic chaplain held services for local Bermudan Catholics. A church building fund was set up in 1930 and, due to American workers arriving to work on the Air Force Base, the fund held a total of $24,000 by 1948. In 1937, the owner of the Mid-Ocean News sold an old house to the Catholics. They used this house as the basis for construction of a Catholic chapel. The church began as this chapel in 1947, with them holding their first Mass service on Christmas that year. Stella Maris Church was formally inaugurated and blessed by the Archbishop of Halifax in February 1948. As its name implies, the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary in her title Stella Maris, or 'Star of the Sea.' In 2000, it was declared a centre of Marian veneration of the diocese. The church is used as a central location for the Portuguese diaspora in Bermuda when they celebrate the annual Festival of the Holy Spirit, based upon traditional practices from the Azores. The priest of Stella Maris also traditionally visits cruise ships in the St. George's Harbour due to the decline in the number of cruise companies having a resident priest onboard.

Saint George's (Bermudes)

Saint George's (oficialment, Town of Saint George, o Saint George's Town) està situada a l'illa del mateix nom, a les Bermudes, i va ser el primer assentament permanent de l'arxipèlag. El centre històric de St. George i fortificacions associades està inscrit a la llista del Patrimoni de la Humanitat de la UNESCO des del 2000. Història La ciutat té un importància històrica considerable. No sols va tenir un rol destacat en la història de les Bermudes (en va ser la capital fins al 1815, data en què el govern es va traslladar a Hamilton), sinó que també va ajudar a la formació dels Estats Units. Durant la Guerra de la Independència dels Estats Units, els habitants de les Bermudes van robar la pólvora dels forts que protegien Saint George's i la van fer arribar a George Washington. També és probable que els seus habitants allarguessin la Guerra Civil americana gràcies al comerç de béns i municions als Estats Confederats d'Amèrica. Avui dia, Saint George's no s'ha vist afectada pel boom econòmic que ha remodelat la capital, Hamilton. La majoria dels edificis van ser construïts entre els segles XVII i XIX, i és per això que les autoritats han evitat que s'hi fessin modificacions excessives: per exemple, les línies elèctriques i telefòniques estan soterrades, i els fanals respecten l'estil de l'època.
