Bermuda High School

The Bermuda High School is a private school in Pembroke, Bermuda. It was founded in 1894. It is an all-girls school from the Early Years Programme to Year 11, and co-educational for the two-year IB Diploma Programme. Foundations BHS was founded in 1896 by Grosvenor Tucker, who found that not everyone could afford to send their daughters to England. The school was based on the lines of Cheltenham Ladies' College in England. The school was situated on Reid Street and in the beginning had 60 students and three teachers. Matilda Tothill was the first head mistress. William Barr donated the premises, Russel Hastings donated a large amount of money to the school and Mrs. Middleton was an art teacher at BHS for over 30 years. Thus the four houses were named after them: Tothill, Barr, Hastings and Middleton. The school is a member of Round Square. International Baccalaureate BHS was the first school in Bermuda to offer its students the International Baccalaureate Programme in 2000. The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepares students, usually aged 15 to 18, for success at university and life beyond. The programme is usually taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world's leading universities. The Torch Ceremony This is a ceremony that takes place every year as current students and alumni gather in a spiral circle in order of youngest to oldest. The Head Students walk through the spiral carrying the school's torch. Each student touches the torch with their right hand as they pass by, signifying the passing of the torch. The first ceremony was in May 1937. It is always conducted on a Thursday. The ceremony is carried out in complete silence as the torch bearer walks the torch around the spiral. Administration The Head of School is Linda Parker. The Head of IB is Sarah Wheddon, Head of Secondary is Catherine Hollingsworth and the Head of Primary is Martina Harris.

Bermuda Institute

Bermuda Institute is a PreK-12 co-educational, Christian school located in Southampton, Bermuda. It is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second largest Christian school system. History In September 1943, 17 pupils ranging from grades one to four began their education in one classroom in the basement of the building then known as the Bay View Apartments. In 1953 the school was transferred to its campus and its 129 pupils relocated in a remodeled two-storey building, on the purchased Sandringham property. As the available classroom space proved inadequate, other classrooms had to be added which included the new modern elementary building which was opened in 1961. Careful planning of the upgrading of the school's status to a Junior Academy was given by the Mission and at the Biennial Session of 1965, it was voted that a new wing be erected. The additional building has allowed for the program of the school to be expanded to include high school levels. As a result, Bermuda Institute, by action of the Mission Biennial Session held May 1967, it has been a K-12 school. As of 2019 Bermuda Institute has opened up a Preschool. It is open and accepting new students from ages 3–4.

Bluck's Island, Bermuda

Bluck's Island (formerly Denslow's Island, Dyer's Island) is an island of Bermuda. It lies in the harbor of Hamilton in Warwick Parish. Previously known as Dyer's island, it was once owned by the Dyer family in the 19th century. Originally owned by Henry Thomas Dyer, son of Patrick O'dwyer. In the early 20th century the island was owned by illustrator William Wallace Denslow who built a house there and declared himself "King Denslow I, Monarch of Denslow Islands and Protector of Coral Reefs". Between 1917 and 1919, the island hosted the Bermuda Biological Station for Research; this was transferred for the period from Agar's Island, which had been "requisitioned for military purposes".

Castle Island, Bermuda

Castle 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 4-acre (1.6-hectare) island is situated close to the entrance to Castle Harbour, to the north of the Tucker's Town Peninsula. Originally called King's Island, it is of historical significance. The King's Castle stone fortification on the island - which gives the harbour its name - dates to 1612, and is the oldest standing English fortification in the Americas and oldest stone building still in existence in Bermuda. The castle was the site of the successful defence of Bermuda from Spanish attack in 1614. Several other fortifications from the same period are located on this, and nearby islands. This string of small islands, across the south of Castle Harbour, are known collectively as the Castle Islands. These forts, together with St. George's Town, and other forts in the parish, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Historic Town of St George and Related Fortifications. References
Cathedral of Saint Theresa of Lisieux

The Cathedral of Saint Theresa of Lisieux, or the Cathedral of Saint Theresa of the Little Flower, normally referred to as St. Theresa's Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Hamilton, in the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. It is one of two cathedrals in Hamilton, the other being that of the state church, the Anglican church of Bermuda (before 1978, a bishopric of the Church of England), the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity. St. Theresa's is the seat of the Catholic Bishop of Bermuda. Catholicism, along with any other denomination not considered part of the Church of England and any non-Christian faiths, was outlawed in Bermuda, as in the rest of English territory, from the time of settlement (1609 to 1612). Enfranchisement of Catholics in Britain and the colonies followed the incorporation of the Kingdom of Ireland within the Kingdom of Great Britain, to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. The Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829 allowed British and Irish Catholics to sit in the Parliament. Description In Bermuda, Presbyterian and Methodist churches operated alongside the Church of England. The law in Bermuda permitted any church that legally operated in the United Kingdom to do so in the colony. Although the Roman Catholic Church began to operate openly in Bermuda in the 19th century, its priests were not allowed, at first, to conduct baptisms, weddings or funerals. With large numbers of Catholic soldiers, particularly from Ireland, serving in the Bermuda Garrison, the first Catholic services were conducted by British Army chaplains during the 19th Century. Mount Saint Agnes Academy, a private school operated by the Roman Catholic Church, and located within sight of the cathedral, opened in 1890 at the behest of officers of the 86th (Royal County Down) Regiment of Foot (which was posted to Bermuda from 1880 to 1883), who had requested from the Archbishop of Halifax, Nova Scotia as school for the children of Irish Catholic soldiers. The numbers of Catholics also began to increase from the 1840s onwards due to the encouragement of immigration of labourers from Portuguese islands, such as the Azores. Today, Portuguese-Bermudians represent at least ten percent of the population, and the Roman Catholic Church is the second largest denomination, with fifteen percent of the population (the Anglican church is the largest, with twenty-three percent, while all the Protestant churches, together, account for fifty-two percent). St. Theresa's was consecrated in 1932, having been built on Cedar Avenue, in Hamilton, on land obtained in 1915 by Father Isaac Comeau. It subsequently became a Cathedral upon the creation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hamilton in Bermuda in 1967. It was built in a style reminiscent of Iberian architecture, rather than that of traditional Bermudian architecture, or the Gothic style of the Anglican cathedral. It was named in honour of its patron saint, Thérèse of Lisieux, who was known as the Little Flower of Jesus. References
Catedral de Santa Teresa de Lisieux

La Catedral de Santa Teresa de Lisieux​ (en inglés: Cathedral of Saint Theresa of Lisieux) también llamada la Catedral de Santa Teresa de la Pequeña Flor, y conocida normalmente como la Catedral de Santa Teresa,​ es una catedral católica en la ciudad de Hamilton,​ la capital de las Bermudas.​ Es una de las dos catedrales de Hamilton, siendo la otra la iglesia del estado, la iglesia anglicana de las Bermudas (antes de 1978, un obispado de la Iglesia de Inglaterra), llamada la «Catedral de la Santísima Trinidad». El catolicismo, junto con cualquier otra denominación que no se consideran parte de la Iglesia de Inglaterra y todas las religiones no cristianas, fue prohibido en las Bermudas, al igual que en el resto del territorio británico, desde el momento de la colonización (1609-1612). La Emancipación de los católicos en Gran Bretaña y las colonias empezó tras la incorporación del Reino de Irlanda al Reino de Gran Bretaña, para formar el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda en 1801. Un ley de 1829 permitió a los católicos británicos e irlandeses sentarse en Parlamento. El número de católicos comenzó a aumentar a partir de la década de 1840 en adelante debido a la promoción de la inmigración de trabajadores de las islas portuguesas, como las Azores. Hoy, los inmigrantes portugueses en las Bermudas representan por lo menos el diez por ciento de la población, y la Iglesia católica es la segunda mayor denominación, con el quince por ciento del total. Santa Teresa fue consagrada en 1932, tras haber sido construido en la avenida Cedar, en Hamilton, en la tierra obtenida en 1915 por el Padre Isaac Comeau. Posteriormente se convirtió en una catedral con la creación de la diócesis de Hamilton en las Bermudas en 1967. Véase también Catolicismo Catedral Santa Teresa de Lisieux Referencias

Five Star Island

Five Star Island is a privately owned, 2.11-acre island in the Little Sound, in Southampton Parish, Bermuda. It was owned by the Wilson family from the 17th to 19th century, and was then known as Wilson's Island. The circumstances of the Wilson family's loss of the island is disputed, with family members claiming it was put up as collateral for potato slips that were destroyed by potato blight, and existing historical records stating the island was legally sold. Geography Five Star Island has an area of 2.11 acres and is situated in the Little Sound on the north coast of Bermuda, in the parish of Southampton. History According to Edward Durrant, a local elder, the island was owned by the Wilson family from at least the 17th century until the 19th century. The circumstances of the Wilson family's loss of ownership is disputed. Surviving records state that the island was sold by Joseph Wilson ("Uncle Joe"), the final owner from the Wilson family, to Jane Soltan, an American citizen, in the 19th century. The island's ownership then changed hands multiple times throughout the years, to Charles Cooper, Morris Gibbons, Alfred Leman, and finally to Curt Engelhorn, a German billionaire businessman and philanthropist. During his time in Bermuda, Engelhorn made large donations to the Bermuda College and the Bermuda Biological Station. However, the Wilson family asserts that Joseph Wilson never sold the island and it was taken through an informal transaction. The Wilson family claims that Joseph Wilson gave the deeds to the island as collateral for a loan to acquire potato slips, with the agreement that he would repay the loan with ten barrels of harvested potatoes. However, a potato blight destroyed his crop, leaving him unable to fulfill the agreement. As a result, the deeds were not returned and ownership was lost. Another version of the story involves a group known as the "40 Thieves", described as members of Bermuda's merchant, banking, and legal elite, who allegedly facilitated or benefitted from the Wilson family's loss of property. No written contract or legal record of the transaction has been found, nor has litigation pertaining to the matter. In 2012, Caroline Engelhorn submitted an application to the Bermuda government to acquire the island under Bermuda's land ownership laws. References
Gibbet Island, Bermuda

Gibbet Island is an island of Bermuda. It is located at the mouth of Flatt's Inlet which leads to Harrington Sound. Its name arises from the fact that criminals were gibbetted, or hung here. Flatt's inlet was not a major shipping route so the reason for hanging the slaves here was not for the benefit of incoming vessels but instead because locals did not want to have hangings on the mainland due to superstition. Witches were also burned here. Today, the property is owned by a private family. References
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse

p4 Gibbs Hill Lighthouse ist ein Leuchtturm (englisch Lighthouse) auf Bermuda. Er ist neben St. David’s Lighthouse der größere von nur zwei Leuchttürmen in diesem britischen Überseegebiet. Beschreibung Der 41 m hohe Turm wurde ab 1844 von den Royal Engineers auf der höchsten Erhebung von Grand Bermuda aus Gusseisen errichtet. Das Leuchtfeuer, das am 1. Mai 1846 in Betrieb genommen wurde, hat eine Feuerhöhe von rund 108 m und zeigt als Kennung einen weißen Blitz mit einer Wiederkehr von 10 Sekunden (Fl.W.10s). Die Optik besteht seit 1904 aus einer Fresnel-Linse der 1. Ordnung. Die Leuchtfeuerwärter wohnten im benachbarten Gebäude. 1964 wurde das Leuchtfeuer an das Stromnetz angeschlossen und automatisiert. Im Notfall kann es von einem eigenen Stromerzeugungsaggregat versorgt werden. 1987 erhielt der Turm eine Radaranlage oberhalb der Laterne; dort ist auch ein Hindernisfeuer für die Luftfahrt installiert. Durch den Hurrikan Fabian wurde die Optik im September 2003 beschädigt und das Leuchtfeuer musste während der Reparatur bis Mai 2004 außer Betrieb genommen werden. Der Leuchtturm ist eine Sehenswürdigkeit auf Grand Bermuda. Das ehemalige Leuchtfeuerwärterhaus wurde zum Restaurant Lighthouse Tea Room umgebaut und zusätzlich wurde ein Souvenirladen eingerichtet. Die Anlage und der Turm können täglich, außer im Februar, besichtigt werden. Zur Aussichtsplattform führen 185 Stufen.
