Bermudians came to the islands in the 1673 century fleeing slavery and established what was to become the principal industry for the next 300 years – the production of salt from brine.
Algúns escravos procedentes das Bermudas chegaron ás illas fuxindo da escravitude no século XVII e estableceron o que se convertería na principal forma de vida durante os seguintes 300 anos - a produción de sal.
