Saint George (Bermuda)

St. Georges (formelt navn St. George's Town) er en by på Bermuda, og den første permanente engelske bosætning på øen og den ældste i dag i Amerika. Den historiske del af byen er godt bevaret og står på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Etableringen af byen St. Georges blev etableret i 1612, tre år efter at de første engelske bosættere landede på øen. De havde været på vej til Virginia, men deres skib «Sea Venture», sprang læk i en storm og blev strandsat av kaptejnen, admiral sir George Somers. De overlevende efter forliset byggede to nye fartøjer og de fleste sejlede herefter videre til Virginia, men nogen blev tilbage og Virginia Company gjorde krav på øen. Selskabet sendte 60 mænd som etablerede bosætningen på St. Georges. Beliggenheden var gunstig for skibe da bosætningen lå ved et sund som var skærmet for dårligt vejr. Den lille by har haft en betydelig historisk indflydelse, den var central for udviklingen af Bermuda og var hovedstad indtil 1815. St. Georges havde også stor indflydelse for de engelske kolonier i Nordamerika, under den amerikanske uafhængighedskrig stjal de lokale krudt fra forterne rundt byen og smuglede det til George Washington. Indbyggerne i St. Georges bidrog også til å forlænge den amerikanske borgerkrig med smugling af forsyninger og ammunition til de oprørske sydstater. Dagens St. Georges Dagens St. Georges er for det meste uberørt af den økonomiske udvikling som har præget hovedstaden Hamilton. De fleste bygninger i byen er fra 1600-tallet og frem til 1800-tallet. De lokale myndigheder har gjort sit for at bevare de gamle bygninger. Trange gader som Barber's Alley og Aunt Peggy's Lane er som de var for flere hundrede år siden.

Saint George's (Bermudes)

Saint George's est une ville et une subdivision des Bermudes. La ville est située sur l'île de Saint George et comptait 1 648 habitants lors du recensement de 1991. Histoire Vers 1609, un navire de colons partant pour Jamestown en Virginie, le Sea Venture s'échoua sur l'île Saint George. Les naufragés survivant construisirent un navire de fortune (le Deliverance) et tenter relient la Virginie, en laissant trois hommes derrière eux, chargés de maintenir une présence sur l'île. En 1612, 60 colons vinrent de Virginie et ils fondèrent avec les trois colons qui étaient restés la ville de Saint George, dont la configuration permettait de protéger les navires en cas de mauvais temps. En 1815, la ville perdit son statut de capitale au profit d'Hamilton. Lors de la guerre de Sécession, aux États-Unis, la ville fut une plaque tournante de la contrebande de tabac et d'armes à feu. En 2000, la ville et ses fortifications ont été ajoutées par l'UNESCO à la liste du patrimoine mondial. Monuments et sites La ville compte de nombreux sites historiques, comme Old State House, qui fut le premier bâtiment de pierre construit aux Bermudes (en 1620) et qui accueillit le parlement jusqu'en 1815, l'église Saint-Pierre, la plus ancienne église anglicane d'Amérique ou les fortifications, destinées à protéger la ville. Les fortifications de la ville consistent en un ensemble d'îlots fortifiés construits à partir de 1612 afin de protéger la ville des assauts des pirates et des Espagnols. Ce sont les plus anciennes fortifications restantes du nouveau monde. Jumelage Depuis 1996, la ville est jumelée avec la ville britannique de Lyme Regis.

CedarBridge Academy

CedarBridge Academy is a senior high school in Devonshire Parish, Bermuda. It is one of Bermuda's two public senior schools, having opened in 1997. It was constructed within the former military base Prospect Camp in the 1990s in place of the old army barracks that had previously housed Prospect Secondary School on the same site, as the result of the decision of the Government of Bermuda to split the Secondary School level of education into middle school and senior High school levels, in emulation of the United States school system, with all of the former public and aided secondary schools converted into middle schools, with a single senior high school: CedarBridge Academy. This plan was deeply unpopular, but the government pressed ahead with it. As a result, the aided secondary school Warwick Academy exited the public education system, reverting to being a private school, and many parents who had been satisfied with the public school system beforehand transferred their children to one of the four private schools (Warwick Academy, Saltus Grammar School, the Bermuda High School for Girls, Mount St. Agnes Academy and Montessori Academy) or sending them to private schools abroad, leading to 40% of Bermuda's children attending private schools and the perception that only those parents who cannot afford private schools send their children to public schools. The government did amend its plans by retaining secondary school Berkeley Institute as a senior high school, supplementary to CedarBridge Academy. The CedarBridge Academy Gymnasium serves as the Emergency Measures Organization's official pre-hurricane shelter, typically opening before the arrival of severe storms.

Hamilton Parish

Hamilton Parish bezeichnet ein 5,3 km² großes Verwaltungsgebiet von Bermuda mit 5584 Einwohnern (2016). Der in deutschsprachigen Staaten mit einem Landkreis vergleichbare Parish liegt im Osten der bermudischen Hauptinsel Grand Bermuda und umspannt nahezu den gesamten Harrington Sound. Bermudas zweitöstlichstes Verwaltungsgebiet grenzt im Südosten an den Saint George’s Parish und im Westen an Smith’s Parish. Die (kreisfreie) Gemeinde Hamilton, Hauptstadt von Bermuda, liegt nicht hier, sondern etwa acht Kilometer südwestlich am Großen Sund. Im Hamilton Parish, der den verwinkelten Ostteil von Grand Bermuda einnimmt, liegen nahe der atlantischen Südküste zwei kleine Seen (Mangrove Lake und Trott’s Pond), was auf Bermuda eher eine Seltenheit ist. Ferner finden sich hier mehrere Tropfsteinhöhlen. Zum Gebiet gehören auch einige kleine Inseln im Harrington Sound. Das Verwaltungsgebiet ist nach dem schottischen Aristokraten James Hamilton, 2. Marquess of Hamilton (1589–1625) benannt. Weblinks Keith Archibald Forbes: Bermuda’s Hamilton Parish. In: Bermuda and her Atlantic Islands. Bermuda Online (BOL); abgerufen am 11.

Hamilton Parish

Hamilton Parish (originally Bedford Parish) is one of the nine parishes of Bermuda. It was renamed for Scottish aristocrat James Hamilton, 2nd Marquess of Hamilton (1589–1625) when he purchased the shares originally held in the Virginia Company by Lucy Russell, Countess of Bedford. It is located in the northeast of the chain's main island, and is split in two by the large Harrington Sound, occupying all but the south and northeastern tip of its coast. The islands within the sound also form part of the parish. It is joined to Smith's Parish in the south, and St. George's Parish in the northeast. As with most of Bermuda's parishes, it covers just over 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km² or 1500 acres). It had a population of 5,584 in 2016. Natural features in Hamilton include Flatt's Inlet, Trunk Island, Shelly Bay, Bailey's Bay, Mangrove Lake, Trott's Pond, Crystal Cave, Castle Harbor, and The Causeway, which links Hamilton with St. George's Parish. Notable locations in Hamilton include the Bermuda Aquarium and Museum and the small settlement of Flatt's Village. Historically, the Colony's government had on occasion met in Flatts Village, rather than the then Capital of St. George's. The Village had prospered, in the days when the Colony's economy was seafaring, according to popular accounts, due to its distance from customs officials in St. George's. Bailey's Bay, on the north shore of the Parish has also long been a thriving community, although it has never attained the status of a municipality. The name is used to denote an area which includes Callan Glen, the shallow depression running North-Eastward from Bailey's Bay (which was named for shipbuilder Claud MacCallan), Coney Island, Walsingham, and that part of the Island running Westward as far as Abbot's Cliff, on the Harrington Sound Shore. The area was long dominated by branches of the Outerbridge family (which includes the MacCallans). Notable landmarks include the Abbot's Cliff, Crystal Caves, and Mount Wyndham, once the location of Admiralty House, and from which the attack on Washington DC in 1815 was planned. Other sites of historical interest in the area include Tom Moore's Tavern (originally a private home, now a restaurant), and the adjacent nature reserve, and the Western end of the Causeway. Other non-municipal 'communal areas' of Hamilton include the area around The Crawl, including Crawl Hill (often referred to by locals as 'Crawl'), and Shelly Bay.

Дом правительства (Бермуды)

Дом правительства (англ. Government House of Bermuda) в городе Гамильтоне — официальная резиденция губернатора Бермудских островов, представителя британской короны на островах. Ранее на месте особняка стоял небольшой частный дом под названием «Маунт Лэнгтон». Особняк был возведён в 1892 году в викторианском стиле шотландским архитектором Уильямом Хэем, по чьим планам был построен и англиканский собор св. Троицы в Гамильтоне. Площадь участка составляет 33 акра. В 1973 году на территории особняка Эрскин Дюррант «Бак» Берроуз застрелил губернатора Ричарда Шарплса и его помощника. Преступник был пойман и повешен. Это была последняя казнь в Соединённом Королевстве. С тех пор особняк был закрыт для общественности до 2014 года, когда по воскресеньям в его сад стали пускать посетителей. В Доме правительства останавливается королева при официальных визитах на Бермуды. Также там гостили и другие высокопоставленные лица, включая президента США Джона Кеннеди. Многие из деревьев в саду были посажены в ходе таких визитов. Примечания
Somerset Bridge, Bermuda

Somerset Bridge is a small bridge in Bermuda connecting Somerset Island with the mainland in the western parish of Sandys, Somerset Bridge is reputedly the smallest working drawbridge in the world. It crosses a small channel connecting the Great Sound with Ely's Harbour. The bridge is mentioned in the acts of Bermuda's first parliament, held in St. George's on 1 August 1620. Bridges were to be constructed at Somerset, the Flatts, and Coney Island. Additionally, the road from Somerset to Warwick was to be improved, and extended to Castle Point. The bridge appears on a 1624 map of Bermuda. The bridge is opened by hand, creating a 32-inch gap that allows the passage of a sailboat's mast. The drawbridge is depicted on a Bermudian banknote. Somerset Bridge's design One of the most remarkable aspects of Somerset Bridge is its design. Thought to be the smallest drawbridge in the world, Somerset Bridge features a 32-inch bisected plank that opens manually to allow the passage of sailboat masts. This simple yet ingenious mechanism has made Somerset Bridge a subject of fascination for visitors. Somerset Bridge on Bermuda's $20 Bill Somerset Bridge, known for its ingenious design as the world's smallest drawbridge, is also featured on Bermuda's $20 bill, highlighting its cultural significance.

Ponte Somerset

Somerset Bridge (em português: Ponte Somerset) é uma pequena ponte levadiça nas Ilhas Bermudas que conecta a Ilha Somerset com o continente na freguesia ocidental de Sandys. Somerset Bridge é supostamente a menor ponte levadiça em funcionamento do mundo. Ela atravessa um pequeno canal que conecta Great Sound com Ely's Harbour. A ponte é mencionada nos atos do primeiro parlamento das Ilhas Bermudas, realizado em St. George's em 1º de agosto de 1620, que dizia: "Pontes deveriam ser construídas em Somerset, Flatts e Coney Island". Além disso, a estrada que liga Somerset a Warwick deveria ser melhorada e estendida até Castle Point. A ponte aparece em um mapa das Bermudas de 1624. A ponte é aberta manualmente, criando um vão de 32 polegadas que permite a passagem do mastro de um veleiro. A ponte levadiça está representada em uma nota das Bermudas. Referências
Мост Сомерсет (Бермуды)

Мост Сомерсет (англ. Somerset Bridge) — самый маленький функционирующий разводной мост в мире, расположен на территории округа Сэндис Бермудских островов. Соединяет остров Сомерсет с главным островом архипелага. Мост был построен в 1620 году, в середине XX в. реконструирован. Изначально мост разводился вручную. Сейчас мост состоит из 2 частей, поддерживаемых кронштейнами (консольный мост), между которыми находится 45-сантиметровый зазор, прикрытый тонкой деревянной панелью. Эта панель убирается, когда яхты пересекают пролив между островами, таким образом корабли могут без особых проблем пройти под мостом.

Smith’s Island

Smith's Island ist eine Insel im Nordosten von Bermuda, gelegen in der Bucht Saint George’s Harbour zwischen Paget Island im Norden und Saint David’s Island im Süden. Das dicht bewaldete Smith's Island ist die drittgrößte Insel im bermudischen Verwaltungsgebiet Saint George’s Parish und etwa 1200 Meter lang und maximal 280 Meter breit. Sie ist dünn besiedelt und nur mit einigen wenigen Villen an der Nord- und Südküste bebaut. Die Insel war eines der ersten von englischen Kolonialisten ab 1612 besiedelten Gebiete von Bermuda. Sie ist nach dem englischen Aristokraten Thomas Smith (1588–1625) benannt. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln von Bermuda Weblinks Inseln bei Bermuda-Online (engl.)
Smith's Island, Bermuda

Smith's Island is part of the chain which makes up Bermuda. It is located in St. George's Parish, in the northeast of the territory. The 61 acres (0.25 km2) island is located close to the northern entrance to St. George's Harbour, east of the town of St. George's to the south of the slightly smaller Paget Island and close to the coast of the much larger St. David's Island. The island is the site of the first settlement in Bermuda, when Christopher Carter and Edward Waters built shelters there in 1610, and remained behind after other survivors of the 1609 wreck of Sea Venture sailed for Jamestown, Virginia. Edward Chard returned with George Somers later that year. Somers died while Chard and a ship's dog joined the Carter and Waters. Sometimes dubbed the "Three Kings of Bermuda", Waters, Carter, and Chard hunted, fished, and farmed the land. The Somers Isles Company had supplied Carter, Chard, and Waters 81 varieties of seeds to trial garden, including tobacco, maize, and watermelon. The first official colonists arrived on the Plough two years later (on July 11, 1612). Company man Richard Moore acted as deputy governor for the 50-60 settlers, who originally settled Smith's Island but then moved to St. David's Island for better access to fresh water. Carter, Chard, and Waters relocated to St. George's Island in autumn 1612. When the smallpox pandemic threatened the public health safety of Bermuda in the 1730s, Smallpox Bay (on the eastern side Smith's Island) was a site of ship and passenger quarantine. Like other Bermuda demonyms, Smith's Island was named in tribute to Governor Thomas Smythe (whose surname was spelled several ways), an investor of the Somers Isles Company.

St. John the Evangelist, Bermuda

St. John the Evangelist is the Anglican parish church, located on St John's Road, in the Parish of Pembroke in Bermuda. It was established in the 1620s when it was known as Spanish Point Church, the original name for Pembroke Parish. History The construction of the original church began in 1621, with the parish celebrating the 375th anniversary in 1996. It is believed construction finished in 1625, as is commemorated by a carved board behind the church's pulpit. There are marriage records dating back as far as 1647, including the marriage of an unfortunately named woman, Miss Affliction Watkins to Mr Edward Morgan. The original church was a wooden structure with a thatched roof of palmetto leaves. Rethatching of the roof took place in 1677. It was destroyed by fire after a hurricane and rebuilt in 1721 and again in 1821. Enlargements were then made to the church several times over the years to cope with increasing congregation sizes. Minton floor tiling was added in 1883, but this was done poorly and the floor was later relaid in 1896. When a new apse was built, there was an attempt to move this flooring but most of the tiles were broken. The church converted to using electric lighting in 1923. A new organ was added in 1968, and during reconstruction work to the tower, new bells were added in 1970. General restoration work was carried out once more to the building between 1983 and 1984. The St John's churchyard is known as Pembroke Churchyard or Pembroke Cemetery. Leadership The current priest is Revd. Brian Haigh. Notable interments Bishop Edward Feild (1876) Robert Laffan, governor of Bermuda.
