Bermuda Haha

Very Fourtunate Circumstances BY ROGER CROMBIE

My first overseas job was in Bermuda. I was hired as the International Controller, responsible for the company’s finances outside the US. I spent the first couple of weeks in the corporate office in Washington, DC, to learn how the whole company operated. A week into my training, a long-haired hippie, Jim, joined the company as Domestic Controller. We reported to the Chief Controller, who promptly had a spat of some sort with the President, and was fired on the spot. That made Jim and me co-chief financial officers of a company quoted on the New York Stock Exchange. We were both 25 years old, with three weeks at the company between us. My head grew to an alarming size, although everyone else just carried on as if nothing had happened. I quickly learned that there is less to high corporate position than meets the eye. After a couple of months, the President decided that he could only stand to talk to one accountant ever again. The position of Chief Controller was advertised. I applied and made the shortlist, along with one other guy. Since Jim and I were to make the final recommendation, I had to interview my competitor. Marji, a Filipino woman who used to work in Bermuda, sat in on the interview with us, in case the candidate had any questions about Dark and Stormies. My plan, if appointed, was to transfer the corporate headquarters to Bermuda. Jim always dressed casually, regardless of the circumstances, so he wore jeans and a ratty T-shirt for the interview with the other applicant for the job I wanted. Taking a different approach, I was clad in the most expensive suit Italy has ever produced. Marji alone looked like a regular person. In walked one of the largest men I’d ever seen, dressed as a classic American businessman, because he was one. He was the same age as Jim and me, added together. His background in aerospace industry management was impeccable. He was a big picture man, while we were, well, cartoon characters. We recommended him for the job without hesitation, and in the years that followed, as the company grew out of all proportion, I was thoroughly glad that I’d escaped to Bermuda. A lower rank, but the Bermuda lifestyle, was a choice I’d make again right this second. Not as dumb as I look. After he’d settled in, our new boss took us out for lunch. He shared his secret amusement at the interview. He had been told that he was to meet the Accounting Committee, usually a stack of white-haired, bone-dry bores. Instead, he got us. He said that at first he thought we were a joke, a corporate test of his ability to handle the unexpected. Once he realised that Jim and I were all that stood between him and a top job, he relaxed. At home that evening, he told his wife he’d be moving to Washington, DC. He got the job. I got Bermuda. Win-win.

How to Wear Bermuda Shorts This Spring

BY REBECCA SINGLETON OWNER OF TABS (THE AUTHENTIC BERMUDA SHORTS)

I love when customers come to the store and plan on walking out in island style. But what is second nature to locals is uncharted territory to others! A common question we get asked is: “How do I wear Bermuda shorts?” Traditionally, Bermuda shorts are worn as formal attire; mostly as office wear, but the beauty of TABS is that you can dress them up or down. If you’ve recently moved to Bermuda and looking for a work wardrobe or passing through and need something to wear to a wedding, Bermuda shorts are the way to go. It’s much too hot most of the year for a full pants suit so opt for something a little more comfortable and climate friendly. In Bermuda, any colour goes so feel free to go as bold as you dare and you can’t go wrong with a crisp white dress shirt. If a tie is required, a complementary or contrasting colour will add a little extra flare to the ensemble. Same rules apply to the socks and blazer, but I’m quite partial to the traditional navy. Finish the look with black or brown loafers or dress shoes and a belt to match and you’re good to go. If the formal look isn’t your thing, nix the socks, dress shirt and shoes and pair your TABS Bermuda shorts with one of our wonderfully soft polo shirts for an effortlessly casual outfit. As if choosing between the colours isn’t difficult enough we decided to make it even more difficult by introducing a selection of fabrics. If you’re a stickler for tradition, our cotton/linen blend is perfect for more formal occasions. The cotton twill, which is available in over twenty colours, is designed to take you from the boardroom to the boat so an excellent choice for work or play. Our newest addition, Tencel, is a performance fabric so the way to go for a day out on one of our many golf courses. Stop by and see us at 12 Reid Street in Hamilton and let us get you kitted out in Bermuda style. No matter the occasion, we’ll have you looking sharp ;

Off The Beaten Track

With 21 square miles to work with, it is hard to imagine much of Bermuda that isn’t overdeveloped. On the contrary, you will be pleasantly surprised to find many parks and nature reserves completely unspoilt and ready to be enjoyed. Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve (pictured above) is located at the South-Eastern end of Bermuda, in St. David’s. This 12 acres of unspoiled natural beauty reserve is now part of Bermuda’s national parks. Until 1995, the area was restricted and occupied by the US Military. On its east is the Cooper’s Island Road, and on its west is the beautiful Castle Harbor. Clearwater Beach and Turtle Beach are two beautiful public beaches located next to the reserve, but you can find nature trails through a vast stretch of woodland area. Although much of the reserve is filled with introduced botanicals like Brazil pepper, casuarinas and allspice, there are patches where you can find heavy concentration of Bermuda cedars, palmettos and olive woods. Spittal Pond, located in Smith’s Parish, is the largest and the most premium nature reserve and national park of the island. It spreads over some 64-acres of land area The Spittal Pond is also a large bird sanctuary and one of the best bird watching locations in Bermuda. Most of the bird-life can be seen from the trail itself. Hog Bay Park. It’s difficult to imagine that in an island like Bermuda, there is still an unspoiled 32 acres of rural land area like Hog Bay Park. It reflects the way Bermuda used to be before the housing boom started in the island in the 1960s. Hog Bay Park, which is one of the newer National Parks of Bermuda, is a stretch of rural land which is mostly undeveloped. You won’t see habitation, roads or hear any noise as you enter the park area. The park is located at the southern part of Sandy’s Parish. On the west of Hog Bay Park is the coastline, on the east it is bounded by the Middle Road. There is a car park just off the Middle Road where there is an entrance to the park.There are many networks of trails that go around the park. It is best to keep to the trails as poison ivy is found quite commonly in the park. Hog Bay Park is on Bus Route #7. There is an entrance and also a car park off the Middle Road in Sandy’s parish. The park is open daily and admission is free. visit bermuda.com or download our app for more infomation

Historic Forts

Gates Fort

Due to the fact that Bermuda Forts are easy to find and in picturesque areas, you don’t have to be a history buff to enjoy them. Most have been restored, some are in parks, but all have gorgeous views. Today all of Bermuda Forts are Historical Sites. From 1808 to the 20th century, Bermuda was the principal Royal Navy command station for North America’s Great Lakes, Caribbean and South Atlantic to St. Helena and the Falkland Islands. This is not well known. In fact, right up until the early 1900’s – again from the British start of World War 2 in September 1939 until 1945 and then in the Cold War – it had a supremely important strategic position. Bermuda was important to the British Government for centuries and, much later, to its allies as well in World Wars 1 and 2. The most feared enemies were first Spain, then France, then the United States of America (1781 to early 19th century), then France again and Germany during World Wars 1 & 2. Fortifying Bermuda against enemies was a deliberate British policy from the earliest days. Bermuda Forts were built in stone, when in the rest of British North America at the time as well as Spanish territories and French possessions, forts were wooden. Britain had built them hundreds of years before Bermuda and the rest of North America were explored, and only in Britain itself were they also built of stone. Lack of scrap industries in Bermuda and being far away from world and regional wars meant that while fortifications, carriages, guns and other materials got melted down elsewhere for re-cycled use during various wars, those in Bermuda stayed and became artefacts of exceptional military interest. Good examples are the rifle muzzle loaded guns still on their original carriages and platforms at various local forts. There are 24 left from more than 80 once here and were built over three and a quarter centuries ago. The process continued throughout most of the 19th century, until the huge Royal Naval Dockyard and its protective ring of British Army manned coastal forts, were completed. During this period, when the USA and Great Britain were not the firm allies they are now, many areas of Bermuda were denuded of foliage and developed into military fortifications. Bermuda hosted an impressive array of talented British artists, sent by the British Army or Royal Navy for compilation of detailed military records. Other military personnel refined visit bermuda.com or download our app for more infomation


explore historic forts their talents in leisure times. They painted landscapes and seascapes showing how Bermuda developed as a naval base and land fortress bristling with heavy guns that could heave first cannonballs then shells miles out to sea. . Military artists sent to paint these changes included Thomas Driver, E.G. Hallewell and Gaspar Le Merchant Tupper. Some of their works are in art galleries and historical records, both in Bermuda and overseas.

A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS: Fort Scaur - The ramparts here offer spectacular views of Ely’s Harbour and the Great Sound. To reach Fort Scaur take bus number 7 or 8. Both travel between Dockyard and Hamilton. Martello Tower The fort looks like a cylindrical egg shaped tower. It’s made of hard Bermuda stones. The fort was restored in 2008. A cannon from the St. Catherine Fort has been brought in and mounted on the tower so that it looks like the original one of the 19th century. Located on a high ground at Ferry Point, St. George Bermuda. You can reach by ferry, or by bus route #1, 3, 10, 11. Fort Hamilton offers spectacular views over Hamilton harbour, especially when cruise ships are in port. The upper levels and battlements have been landscaped with lawns, which make a fine place for a summer picnic. You will need to enter through a wooden bridge. There are plenty of cannons and ramparts inside. These large cannons that stand guard over Hamilton port never had to be fired to defend enemy attacks. Gates Fort sits right on the edge of Town Cut, a channel that was created for ships to enter the St. George Harbor. As you walk into Gates Fort, you will still find two George III guns mounted. As you go to the top of the fort, you will see the great advantage the British soldiers had defending the entrance of the harbor. Gates Fort is in St. George’s, located at the end of the Cut Road that goes along the coastline. Gates Fort is a mile east of St. George’s Town and is on bus route #3.

Warwick Long Bay

John Smith’s Bay: Off the beaten track in Smith’s parish, this popular locals’ beach is a little less crowded than the South Shore destinations but still boasts soft sand and great swimming and snorkelling. The Harrington Hundreds grocery store is just a few minutes away by moped if you want to make your own picnic. West Whale Bay: Named for the humpback whales that migrate past Bermuda in April and May each year, this is as good a place for whale watching as anywhere on the island. The grassy cliff-top that borders this Southampton beach is a great spot for a picnic. Warwick Long Bay: To truly grasp the beauty of Bermuda’s South Shore, walk the length of Warwick Long Bay and clamber across the rocks, or take a detour over the sand dunes to Jobson Cove and Chaplin Bay. On a quiet day you will see more Longtails than fellow tourists. Shelly Bay: A parent’s dream beach, Shelly Bay boasts warm, shallow water, a soft sandy bottom and backs on to a playground and sports field. A favourite for kids and novice swimmers – and close to the bus stop. Church Bay: Swim with shoals of brightly coloured parrot fish among the pristine coral reef that pierces the water just yards from shore at this small South Shore bay, widely revered as Bermuda’s best beach for snorkellers. Elbow Beach: A half-mile of white sand boasting stunning views of the Atlantic, Elbow Beach, in Warwick, is a playground for joggers, kiteboarders, beach volleyball players and SCUBA divers. There’s even a shipwreck within swimming distance of shore. You can join in the fun or just hire a deckchair and sit back and watch. Tobacco Bay: Famous for its stunning volcanic rock formations – natural sculptures that emerge from the glassy water, this picturesque, sheltered cove is also a snorkellers’ dream. The short walk from the old town of St. George is well worth it. Horseshoe Bay: A crescent of soft, pink sand, lapped by clear blue water, fringed by sand dunes and bordered with sandstone cliffs, garnished with swaying palms – Horseshoe, in Southampton Parish, is the Mecca of the island’s beaches and a must for every Bermuda visitor. visit bermuda.com or download our app for more infomation

Treasures of the Sea Atlantic Jewellery Studio BY BRIGITTA WOHLMUTH

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” Jacques Cousteau Inside of the Washington Mall is a store with ocean blue walls, whimsical marine décor in the windows, and unique handmade jewellery displayed from wall to wall. As you step inside, you get the feeling of being below deck on an elegant pirate ship filled with prized jewels of the Atlantic. And the treasures you will find there are endless. Bermuda Medallions, Historic Hog Penny replicas, a myriad of stackable rings, necklaces created with mystical gems and Bermuda’s iconic pink sand and sea glass… “We do a lot of nautical and ocean themed pieces, but I don’t like to limit myself either” says the shop owner, Jacquie Lohan. With over 20 years experience, you could say she is one of Bermuda’s more accomplished jewellers. She loves working with precious metals and gemstones, but she’s also a passionate surfer whose infatuation with the ocean reveals itself in Atlantic Jewellery Studio’s collections. Since establishing the business, she’s won numerous awards and even had her Jewellery featured on a Bermuda postage stamp. But she’s not one to hog the spotlight and has consistently celebrated the work of others. There’s ‘something for everyone’ in her showroom, where you’ll find not only her designs on display, but also designs made by fellow artist-friends and most importantly her apprentice, Jocelyn Powell. “Jocelyn has been with me for over 12 years. She is so talented and makes a lot of the pieces here,” Jacquie says. Jocelyn crafts many lovely designs out of Bermuda elements such as pink sand, cedar, and the store’s extensive collection of gemstones and pearls. She also collaborates with Jacquie to design one of the studio’s most popular creations - ‘The Bermuda Medallion’. The silver-sculpted pendants are truly unique pieces fit for any aspiring mermaid. They contain rare pieces of our coloured sea-glass, pink sand, replicas of tiny sea-shells cast in silver, and resemble the little tide-pools left on the rocks by the waves. “I think they really capture the essence of Bermuda” says Jocelyn. The medallions are wonderful keepsakes that let you cherish the Island forever.

The East End Let’s Get Outdoors BY KRISTIN WHITE

In July 1612, 50 families sailed into Bermuda with the goal of turning it into the most successful colony of the British Government. It had been 2 years since a group of shipwrecked passengers, who’d been stranded on our shores for one year, had departed the island on ships they’d built from salvaged materials and Bermuda cedar. When they reached Jamestown Virginia, the cahows (Bermuda birds) and pigs they’d stored helped save that struggling colony from starvation. Once word reached that the shipwrecked passengers were not only alive but had thrived on the wild island, the decision was made to return. And the Town of St. George’s was established. Let’s Get Outdoors! It’s officially spring! We had a few very stormy days that had us feeling like a hurricane was on the way, but generally we’ve been pretty lucky this winter (knock on wood), with lots of sunshine. While we wait for the water temperature to creep up, now is the time for bike rides. Where shall we go? The Olde Streets Duke of York Street is the primary access to the town – it’s where the bus stops. But step off this main road, and you’ll find a historic neighbourhood on winding allies, and higgledy-piggledy streets. Getting lost in these lanes is one of my favourite things to do. You’ll see gorgeous old homes, vibrant gardens, lazy cats sunning on cobble stone - basically bring your camera because every corner is Instagram worthy. The Bermuda Perfumery is there as well, in Stewart Hall (built in the early 1700s), as is the 400 –year-old cemetery behind St. Peter’s Church. The Coast Go past the Perfumery, right up Queen Street, and you’ll find yourself at St. George’s Preparatory School, which sits just beside the picturesque Unfinished Church, a striking ruin left over from a forsaken project. This is the start of your adventure. Around the coast, there are forts, beaches, restaurants, bars, an old cemetery, farmlands … there’s even a church with an incredible muralled interior! Stop and have lunch, take a swim at a quiet cove, soak in the gorgeous vista at the tip of Fort St. Catherine, say hi to the baby goats! Trust me, it’s truly the best day ever. ABOUT KRISTIN & SHOSHANNA: Kristin has lived in St. George’s since 2003 and developed a love affair with the town. Her store, Long Story Short is on Water Street, and from there, she offers amazing tours, bicycle rentals, custom hula hoops and a curated collection of gifts and books. Shoshanna is her bicycle, perpetual companion, and the 2018 Best of Bermuda award winner for best Bermuda character.

Guns Galore: The Artillery Collection of The National Museum of Bermuda BY JANE DOWNING

Over the centuries many large guns have come to Bermuda, whether mounted aboard merchant and naval ships or imported to arm coastal batteries, but few have left these shores. There was little motivation for exporting outdated weaponry, and abandoned guns were often repurposed as mooring weights, wharf bollards, gun pivots and ballast; simply used as land fill; or abandoned where they sat. The Keep fort at Dockyard, home of the National Museum of Bermuda, bristles with artillery: Napoleonic cannon jut from embrasures and peek over ramparts, field artillery ride reproduction carriages, and coastal defence guns sit silent in their giant emplacements overlooking Dockyard’s modern cruise ship terminal. The Museum collections contain examples of almost every type of heavy gun used in Bermuda over the last 500 years, from 16th century shipboard swivel guns to a 9.2-inch rifled breech loader used through the Second World War. The oldest guns in the collection are on display in the Shipwreck Island exhibit: two wrought iron swivel guns, a saker dated to 1577 and a demi-culverin, all recovered from a still-unidentified wreck on the Western Ledge Reef. Guns on display in the Defence Heritage exhibit on the ground floor of Commissioner’s House include an extremely rare 9-pounder demi-culverin drake marked with the cipher of Charles I. The gun was discovered during an excavation on the Dockyard fortifications: it had been used as a pivot for a larger, later gun. British armaments experts believe it was cast in 1637 or 1640 in England for use aboard the ship Lion, but how it came to Bermuda remains a mystery, for now. Over 30 more guns are displayed on the upper grounds, some remounted in their emplacements, and others awaiting restoration and interpretation. Come and explore! National Museum of Bermuda | 1 The Keep, Royal Naval Dockyard. Open Weekdays: 9am - 5pm, Weekends & Holidays 9:30am - 5pm (last admission 4pm) info@nmb.bm / 441-234-1333 / www.nmb.bm

The Bermuda Triangle Unlock the Secrets at BUEI’s Ocean Discovery Centre BY BRIGITTA WOHLMUTH

The Island is finally ‘claiming its fame’ as home of the Bermuda Triangle, with the launch of this new exhibit at BUEI’s Ocean Discovery Centre. Designed to enlighten visitors and locals alike, it has scrupulously compiled every shred of research together under one roof in an effort to ‘unlock the secrets’ of this mysterious phenomenon. From the earliest recording made by Christopher Columbus in 1492 to the most recent missing vessel in 1991, countless ships and aircrafts have strangely disappeared into the Ocean’s abyss without a trace ... but why? What was the cause? Well, that’s for you to decide, and you’re advised not to make up your mind until you’ve digested the whole exhibit from start to finish. “In the exhibit we present you with thirteen theories. After you’ve read them all, you have to decide what you believe?” says Mel Ferson, the Museum’s Director and driving force behind the exhibit is my guide as I tour it for the very first time. Scanning the walls intently, I’m impressed to see that they haven’t discarded any possibility, now matter how crazy or seemingly illogical. Aliens, Sea Monsters, even the Lost City of Atlantis are considered amongst the thirteen theories (with evidence to back up the claims), as well as a number of more “logical” reasons based in science; like methane gas hydrates that rise from the bottom of the ocean, rogue waves, the Sargasso Sea and Human Error. “This was built as a living classroom,” Mel tells me, adding that all of Bermuda’s school children will be able to see the exhibit for free. “It’s important too that when they travel abroad or meet people from overseas that they’ll be better able to explain what is the Bermuda Triangle.” I had to agree, noting my time overseas and how, whenever someone would discover where I was from, they’d ask with eyes of wonder, “What about the Bermuda Triangle, is it real?” To which I never quite knew how to respond.

display within the exhibit shows a 20-minute video compilation of every time the Bermuda Triangle was mentioned in a TV-show, Film or cartoon – highlighting the massive global interest in this enigmatic topic which is said to be the greatest unsolved mystery of the modern age. Then Mel tells me that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) would be coming to visit the following week. “It turns out they were doing a three-part video series on the Bermuda Triangle and they wanted to start each episode from Bermuda. They heard about the exhibit and contacted us, so that’s great coverage. Once it’s marketed overseas I think it will get a lot of global attention from people who have always been fascinated by the Bermuda Triangle.”

The exhibit’s wall of secret files

Designed by local talent Lana Leksina in collaboration with Canadian exhibit design firm 3DS/ THREE DIMENSIONAL SERVICES INC., it’s the very first exhibit of its kind. “In the past there wasn’t a single point where one could learn more about the infamous Triangle, and where better to have an exhibit on the Bermuda Triangle then in Bermuda?” Mel continues. “Everything that has ever happened or been written about is here, and it’s a life long exhibit so we’ll keep adding to it the more we find.” It starts with a simulated dive into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, and once you step inside there’s a number of techy highlights including a 3D hologram of Brigitta snaps a selfie a Hurricane from start to dissipation, a futuristic multiuser touch screen that visitors can use to learn more about every vessel recorded to have disappeared, and at the end of the exhibit is a Selfie Station where you decide what theory to use as the backdrop for your photo, which will be emailed to you. So be sure to check out the new exhibit for yourself, and when you reach back home and all the questions come pouring in, you’ll know just how to respond.

Do You Know... That Bermuda Passed the New World’s First Conservation Legislation? BY HORST AUGUSTINOVIC

The first book about Bermuda was written in 1610 by Sylvester Jordain, one of the survivors of the ‘Sea Venture’. It includes the following descriptions about the abundant wildlife they found on their arrival on the island: “Wherefore my opinion sincerely of this Iland is, that whereas it hath beene, and is still accounted, the most dangerous, infortunate, and most forlorne place of the world, it is in truth the richest, healthfullest, and pleasing land...” “Sir George Sommers … found out sufficient of many kind of fishes, and so plentyfull thereof, that in halfe an houre he took so many great fishes with hookes, as did suffice the whole company one day. These fishes are very fat and sweete, and of that proportion and bignesse, that three of them will conueniently lade two men: those we called rockfish. Besides there are such abundance of Mullets, that with a seane might be taken at one draught one thousand at the least…” “The Countrie affordeth great abundance of Hogges, as that there hath beene taken by Sir George Sommers, who was the first that hunted for them, to the number of two and thirty at one time…” “There is Fowle in great number vpon the Ilands, where they breed, that there hath beene taken in two or three houres, a thousand at the least; the bird being of the bignes of a good Pidgeon, and layeth egges as big as Hen egges vpon the sand, where they come and lay them dayly, although men sit downe amongst them…” “Another Sea fowle there is that lyeth in little holes in the ground, like vnto a cony-hole, and are in great numbers, exceeding good meate, very fat and sweet (those we had in the winter) and their eggs are white, and of that bignesse, that they are not to be knowne from Hen egges.” “There are also great store of Tortoses, (which some call Turtles) and those so great, that I haue seene a bushel of egges in one of their bellies, which are sweeter then any Henne egge: and the Tortose it selfe is all very good meate, and yeeldeth great store of oyle, which is as sweete as any butter; and one of them will suffice fifty men a meale, at the least: and of these hath beene taken great store, with two boates, at the least forty in one day.” “There are also great Plentie of Whales, which I conceaue are verie easie to be killed, for they come so vsually, and ordinarily to the shore, that we heard them oftentimes in the night a bed; and haue seene many of them neare the shoare, in the day time.” Within only a few short years the early settlers had so depleted certain species, that in 1620 an Act was passed against the killing of young turtles. This is considered to be the New World’s earliest written conservation legislation. Unfortunately the settlers did not know that sea turtles take up to 50 years to mature.
