Souvenirs with Style Hidden Treasures in The City BY BRIGITTA WOHLMUTH
Head to the City of Hamilton to shop where the locals shop and you can find souvenirs that are equally trendy and unique.
Fancy Feet Summer time means toes out, but you don’t have to settle for flip-flops to stay cool and comfortable. Instead, opt for a pair of custom-made leather sandals from Della Valle Handmade Sandals. Owner, Vincenzo Della Valle, learned the art of sandal making during his childhood in Capri and from his boutique on 19 Queen Street, he offers a number of styles, colors and heel heights to choose from - even men and children can get a pair. Shoes can be ready within an hour, so while you wait, why not prep with a pedicure from Orchid Nail Spa? (Info: See Shopping Guide on pages 31 & 35)
Resort Chic You can transform your own home into a tropical getaway with interior décor from The Island Shop at 3 Queen Street. Owned by local artist, Barbara Finsness, her whimsical islandinspired designs feature Bermuda’s unique architecture, as well as flora and fauna, across an array of charming products perfect for outfitting your home or Beach/ Pool House. Ceramics, linens, dishware and stationery are amongst many other treasures you’ll find in her Hamilton store, and overseas shipping can be arranged for bulky and/or fragile items. ( Info: See Shopping Guide on page 32 )
Modern Edge Minimalists will love the homeware, design objects and jewellery from & Partners at 46 Par-La-Ville Street. This new boutique carries a stylish selection of gift items, specialising in Bermudian, Scandinavian, and North American Design brands. In addition to imported finds, such as the porcelain planters from Bean & Baily pictured left, the boutique also features a range of trendy Bermuda-Made accessories; including jewellery by Rebecca Little, and leather goods from new local-launch Fennel.

Piloting Bermuda
National Museum of Bermuda BY ELENA STRONG, NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BERMUDA
“No stranger should attempt any of the anchorages or channels without a pilot” Daniel Robert Tucker, Channels and Reefs Around Bermuda 1840 The graveyard of shipwrecks surrounding Bermuda is testament to the island’s perilous encircling reefs and complicated channel systems. On the ocean floor lie the remains of French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, English, Danish, Italian and American vessels— the victims of Bermuda’s extensive reef network and 500 years of material evidence documenting Bermuda’s interaction with the Atlantic World. Local knowledge, navigation charts, lighthouses, signalling stations, beacons and buoys have all aided in the safe passage of incoming and outgoing ships but the expertise of local pilots has been of paramount importance. Pilots were experienced local coastal navigators who guided visiting and local ships through the difficult approaches to Bermuda. Once an incoming ship was spotted, a conch was blown and the pilot crews rushed to launch their boats in the water and raced each other under oar or sail to the sighted ship. Keen rivalry existed between pilots as the first pilot aboard got the job and subsequent pilotage fees, which were divided between pilot, crew and boat owner. There are stories of pilot gigs seen 50 miles off Bermuda waiting for ships and to beat rival pilots. Young local boys and men made up the crews and pilots; many were slaves and freemen of African, Native American Indian and mixed descent and considered to be Bermuda’s most talented marine navigators. Enslaved pilot James ‘Jemmy’ Darrell performed an exceptional maritime feat for the Royal Navy that led to his eventual freedom and being appointed a King’s pilot— the highest ranking pilot on the island entrusted to bring in the Admiral’s flagship. In 1795, Darrell successfully navigated Lord Admiral Murray’s flagship HMS Resolution safely through the reefs to a safe anchorage on the East end of the North Shore (now called Murray’s Anchorage). “With great coolness and presence of mind… he had the vessel’s sail shortened, backed her through the more intricate part of the channel…and then proceeded by the usual course”. Admiral Murray was impressed with Darrell’s skill and requested he be freed from slavery. He was manumitted on March 1, 1796 at the age of 47 and three months later became the first King’s pilot.
Pilot gigs were crewed by six oarsmen, a coxswain and a pilot and were rigged with two or three loose footed, leg-of-mutton sails and a jib. They were built for speed and could reach up to 14 knots (26 km/h). The last surviving 19th century pilot gig is on display at the National Museum of Bermuda.
Jemmy Darrell’s House, located in the Town of St. George, is part of the UNESCO Slave Route Project and African Diaspora Trail

Style Guide
How to Wear Bermuda Shorts 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 ; TABS flagship store | 12 Reid Street, Hamilton Open Monday-Saturday 10am to 5pm www.tabsbermuda.com / 441 704 8227

Cooper’s Island
Bermuda’s parks and nature reserves are scattered around the island like a green necklace, providing quiet, tranquil areas to explore, picnic and bird watch. Pack a lunch, take your binoculars and camera and enjoy what has been carefully preserved: Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve (pictured above) is located at the eastern end of Bermuda, in St. David’s. The nature reserve is 12 acres of unspoiled natural beauty, now part of Bermuda’s national parks. Until 1995, the area was restricted and occupied by the US Military and used by NASA to house a tracking station. On its east is Cooper’s Island Road with a stretch of quiet beaches and on its west beautiful Castle Harbour. Clearwater Beach and Turtle Beach are two of the public beaches located next to the reserve and there is a seasonal beach house with rentals. You can find nature trails through a vast stretch of woodland area with introduced botanicals like Brazil pepper, casuarinas and allspice, there are patches plus native Bermuda cedars, palmettos and olive woods which are being reintroduced to the reserve. Spittal Pond, located in Smith’s Parish, is the largest and the most premium nature reserve and national park on the island, spreading over 64-acres. It 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 and you can visit the is a historic landmark, Portuguese Rock, where shipwreck survivors left their mark in the 1500’s. Hog Bay Park. Hog Bay Park is a quiet stretch of rural land featuring agricultural fields, woodlands and an old lime kiln. You won’t see any habitation, roads or hear any noise as you meander along the networks of trails that go around the park. Bird watchers should bring their binoculars as the park is a mecca for resident and migrant birds. The trails lead to the coast line and offer panoramic views to the east and west. To reach Hog Bay Park take bus route 7 or 8. The entrance and car park is on Middle Road, Southampton. visit bermuda.com or download our app for more infomation

Historic Forts
Gates Fort
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. Bermuda boasts impressive fortifications built through out the past five centuries. By the end of the Second World War over 70 sites had been fortified through out the island. Forts are the oldest stone buildings in Bermuda and represent every stage of the island’s development from a small, isolated outpost settled by the Virginia Company in the 1600s, to what became the “Gibraltar of West” in the 1800s and beyond. Many of the earliest and most impressive forts are located in the east end, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bermuda’s location in the North Atlantic gives it an important strategic position between the European and North American continents. The island’s 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 I & II. Fortifying Bermuda against enemies was a deliberate British policy from the earliest days and was successful as Bermuda was never attacked. 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. The island boasts the best example of British masonry coastal defense through the centuries outside of Britain. 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. visit bermuda.com or download our app for more infomation
explore historic forts A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS: Scaur Hill Fort and Park This fort was built defend the Royal Naval Dockyard against the Americans during the war of 1812. Then in the 1940s, American guns defended the fort during WWII. While exploring, look for the deep gun pits and galleries which go deep into the hillside. The ramparts 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. Fort Hamilton Offers magnificent views over the City of Hamilton and its harbour. The upper levels and battlements have been landscaped with lawns, which make a fine place for a summer picnic. Entry is across a wooden bridge over the deep dry-moat and there are plenty of cannons and ramparts inside. Make your way down into the moat to visit the lovely gardens maintained by the Corporation of Hamilton. Gates Fort Gates Fort sits right on the edge of Town Cut, a channel created for ships to enter St. George Harbour. As you walk into Gates Fort, you will find two George III guns mounted and at the top of the fort, you will see the great advantage British soldiers had defending the entrance of the harbour. Gates Fort may be reached from the Town of St. George’s, at the end of Cut Road which goes along the coastline. Alexandra Battery The Battery sits next to Frobisher’s Building Bay, where the Deliverance was built in 1610 to take shipwreck survivors on to Virginia. It was completed in the 1860s and features a 9-Inch muzzle loader at the southern end. To reach the Battery, continue past Gates Fort along the coastline.

Bus 6 from St. George’s. Tobacco Bay Famous for its stunning limestone formations – natural sculptures that emerge from the glassy water, this picturesque, sheltered cove is also a snorkelers’ dream. The short walk from the old town of St. George is well worth it. There is a beach house for rentals, food and drink, in the summer months. 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.

Inspired by Bermuda’s Beauty Alexandra Mosher Studio Jewellery BY BRIGITTA WOHLMUTH
Who is Alexandra Mosher, you ask? She’s commonly known as ‘Bermuda’s Pink Sand Jeweller’, but simply put, ‘Artist’ is the title that Alexandra most identifies with. She describes her creative process as finding any means necessary to “get the vision out of my head through my hands”. From crafting as a child, to painting and sculpting as a Visual Arts Major in University - she’s never been afraid to switch artistic mediums over the years - eventually taking up jewellery making while living in New York, postgraduation. But she never dreamed she’d become a household name on her own island. “Basically I wanted to create my own version of a Bermuda Gem,” she says, reflecting on the early pink-sand-filled designs that launched her career. Fourteen years after her humble start-up, she’s an award-winning entrepreneur, with a cult following on social media, and a brand new store on the chic west end of Front Street where you can explore her evolving collections. In her studio/office workshop, I’m treated to a look behind the scenes. “Imagine a trio of pale blue, purple and soft pink stones clustered in here,” she says excitedly, showing me a new ring setting that she’s created. Using the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, she explains how she can carve out master models like this one that will allow her to cluster gemstones together “like a miniature flower arrangement.” She admits to being almost as captivated by her garden these days as by what’s under the sea, but it’s just as much the pink sand as it is “that handmade feeling” that’s her trademark. “I like to make pieces with a unique perspective, for people who want something a bit more personal,” says Alexandra who thrives off of the relationships she has with her clients. “I’m driven both by what people are looking for and what speaks to them, but also what speaks to me. It’s a symbiotic design process, and it’s so exciting!” Her work reflects the raw and organic elements found in nature - be it boiler reefs and sea shells along the coast, the delicate petals of a flower, or the wood grain texture of a palm tree. “I’m really happy to be working with a rainbow of color again”, she says, as the conversation turns to new projects. Her aesthetic has favoured a neutral palette up until now, with most of her sculptural pieces set in brilliant silver contrasted with cabochons of pink-sand, but in future, she assures me that we’ll be seeing a lot more gold pieces and colourful gemstones in her work. In her showroom you’ll find her popular coastal-inspired collections alongside newer designs that reflect other aspects of Bermuda. “I also have a case full of

one-of-a kind pieces that I’ve made in gold,” says Alexandra, adding that while everything is available for purchase on her website at AlexandraMosher.com, the store is the “sanctuary” in which to discover it all. She even won an Interior Design Award for her beautifully designed store and studio; boasting soft, powdery colours, high ceilings, and large windows framed by delicate linen drapes. Vintage display cases add a sense of luxury to the jewellery, and overall there’s a really great energy throughout. “The new space has been a game changer,” says Alexandra. Many customers are shocked when they learn that every single piece of jewellery is made on site. “Here we can really show people our process, and that’s the best part,” she continues. Her studio lies just beyond the showroom, and her team offers behind the scenes tours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To learn how she transitioned from a onewoman-show, who once created and sold all of her jewellery single-handedly at pop-up shops and craft markets across the island, to have come this far in just over a decade proves that with passion and perseverance (and the help of a few pinksand fairies), dreams really do come true. Visit Alexandra Mosher Studio Jewellery’s Flagship Store & Studio at 5 Front Street in Hamilton, and be inspired too! It’s a delight to explore and you can find your own handmade treasure to serve as a reminder of your time in paradise. Call 441-236-9009 or email hello@alexandramosher.com.

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.

Island Style
Breezy at the Beach BY NIKÉ BADA
The full brunt of the summer heat is finally here but there’s no need to sacrifice your style in the face of rising temperatures. Keep cool – or the appearance of it anyway - with our top tips for looking and not being scorching on the sand. First up, it’s never been easier to find a suit to suit. Every imaginable style is in fashion from the barest of bikinis to universally flattering highwaisted styles, there’s something for everyone. One-pieces no longer have to be boring or conservative either. Choose ones with strategic cutouts or in bright colours with plunging necklines like this one from Lalesso to ensure you stand out from everyone else on the beach. And don’t forget those little extras to elevate your look. Bold, statement earrings from Katie Bartels Jewelry and elegant kaftans add a little bit of necessary glamour. Raise the bar by matching these to your swimsuit for extra points. Bermuda is blessed with miles of gorgeous, sandy beaches – but not a whole lot of overhead protection from the sun. While this makes for stunning, world famous vistas, make sure you always carry your own sunshade. There are hats to fit every style and occasion - from dad to fedora - so there’s no excuse for not finding the best protection for you while still looking great. Now you’ve got a little bit of shade, don’t forget the glare of the sun is still no joking matter and at the beach or on a boat, the sun’s rays reflecting off the water can intensify the light. Micro sunglasses are one of the most popular trends this season. A retread of a look that was popularised in the 1990s, this throwback nod to futurism and minimalism has been seen on celebrities like Rihanna and Gigi Hadid this summer who have all been papped in styles like The Last Lolita, a collaboration between Australian eyewear brand Le Specs and Adam Selman. While trendy sunglasses come in every price point, protect those peepers with the best shades you can afford. Features to look out for include 100% protection from both UVA and UVB light, scratch proof lenses, strong but lightweight frames and a great fit that perfectly encapsulates your summer style. We don’t need to tell you that no one looks good schlepping their things to the beach in reusable shopping bags as environmentally friendly as they may be. Up your game by toting your sunscreen and snacks in straw baskets. With so many shapes, colours and sizes to choose from, baskets are incredibly versatile. These ones from Xinh + Co come in unusual patterns and colour combinations and are adorned with coordinating or contrasting tassels or pompons. Based on traditional baskets used to carry rice from the fields at harvest time, the fair trade baskets are hand-woven in Vietnam and can be used to carry your things to the beach or around town in style. And guys don’t worry; we’ve got you covered too. The best way to stay cool this summer is to wear natural, breathable fabrics and the ideal choice when temperatures rise is linen. Its loose weave has built-in air conditioning properties, and is perfect for keeping you cool on those hot and humid summer days and nights. All items mentioned in this article are available in store or online from Merch, a concept store and boutique located at 1 King’s Square, St George’s | www.themerch.space | 441 703 4500

The East End
The African Diaspora Heritage Trail BY KRISTIN WHITE
It’s Cup Match time! Just writing those words has me squealing with glee! Cup Match is our biggest holiday and my favorite time of the year. Between August 1 and 5, thousands of visitors and residents will attend concerts, head out onto the water for raft-ups, drink loads of rum swizzle, and make our way to Somerset Cricket Club for the main event – a 2-day cricket match. Whether you understand the game of cricket or not (and let’s face it – many of us don’t!), spending some time at the field is a must, as it’s one of the most important and long-standing cultural celebrations in Bermuda. On August 1, 1834, throughout the British Empire, over 800,000 slaves received their freedom, and the following year, former slaves here in Bermuda stayed off work to celebrate. By the 1880s, it became common practice for games of cricket to be played as part of this unsanctioned holiday, and in 1902, the first official match took place. Teams were selected from players of the Somerset and St George’s Cricket Clubs and money collected to purchase a trophy, a silver ‘cup’. Finally in 1946, the government made it a formal holiday, and then 50 years later, the first day was acknowledged as ‘Emancipation Day’. Pilot Darrel House, the first property to be owned by a black person in Bermuda
And, although the Cup Match holiday is mostly a time of fun, it can also be a time of reflection, and those seeking to learn more Bermuda’s black history can visit public sites along the African Diaspora Heritage Trail (ADHT). The idea for the trail started in 2001 by a Bermudian Minister of Tourism, The Honourable David Allen, and then spread across the world. There are 12 ADHT sites on-island, and 7 are in St. George’s parish including Pilot Darrell Square, named after the first black person to own property in Bermuda; Barber’s Alley, which tells the story of US Congressman Joseph Rainey; and the ‘Burial Ground for Slaves and Free Blacks’ in the St. Peter’s Historic Churchyard. A map can be downloaded at http://www.moed.bm/Documents/ADHT.pdf. 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.

The Bookmart Review Cup Match in Bermuda
BY MARTIN BUCKLEY, DEPARTMENT MANAGER AT THE BOOKMART AT BROWN & CO.
Is it an exaggeration to say that the Cup Match is the most important holiday in the Bermudian calendar? Possibly, but not much of one. Cup Match embodies everything that is best about the peoples of these Islands: hospitality, good humour, sportsmanship, friendly rivalry and the ability to throw a party to which everyone is welcome. The Cup Match holiday owes its origins to the heart felt celebrations which followed the passing of the Emancipation Act on August 1st 1834. This act, which finally abolished the horror of slavery throughout the British Empire, was greeted with joy by those whom it freed. The anniversary of Emancipation soon became an important annual celebration for communities of former slaves across Britain’s colonies. A time for thanks giving services, picnics and of course an opportunity to play that most complicated of British sports; cricket. Yes, cricket, lovely cricket. To misquote the song, ‘Bermudians don’t like cricket, oh no, they love it’ and their obsession with the game culminates every year in the annual match played between St George’s and Somerset. Loyalties are proclaimed through the wearing of club colours (blue and light blue for St George’s, blue and red for Somerset) and by a sad shaking of heads when it becomes apparent that an otherwise perfectly sane acquaintance inexplicably supports the ‘wrong’ team. This brief display of pity is usually followed by ribald condemnation of their choice and prophesies of forthcoming defeat. For generations (and formally since 1902) cricket has been at the heart of Bermuda’s Emancipation celebrations. Bermudian photographer and journalist Lawrence Trott has captured the very essence of Bermuda’s annual emancipation celebration in his wonderful book ‘Cup Match in Bermuda’. Its pages are lavishly illustrated with action photos of the cricket stars of today and yesterday and with images of Bermudians enjoying the big holiday of the year. All the ingredients are here; the game played out under a blue sky, ‘Jim’ Woolridge’s commentary, the sea of club colours dominating the spectator stands, picnics, fortunes won and lost at the Crown & Anchor tables, swizzle being enjoyed, wickets falling, sixes being struck, heroes being made, fun being had. Also included are tables of notable player performances, a forward by Wendell Smith, a history of Cup Match by Ira Philip MBE and John Watkins famous explanation of cricket for ‘foreigners’; ‘You have two sides, one out in the field and one in …’ The Bookmart at Brown & Co., 35 Front Street, Hamilton. www.bookmart.bm Open Monday-Saturday: 8:30am- 6pm, Sundays: 1-5pm

This coastal nature reserve starts in Warwick Parish, ending at the famous Horseshoe Bay in Southampton, and along the way there’s lots of places to stop for a quick swim. Why not plan a photography adventure and hike along the walking trails that connect Chaplin Bay to Horseshoe? Once you’ve worked up an appetite, find a place to perch and enjoy a picnic on the sand. Rum Bum Beach Bar at Horseshoe Bay makes it easy, with lots of tasty food to choose from, as well as beach rentals like umbrellas and sun loungers. Or if you have a moped, you can make a quick excursion to Henry VIII Restaurant, where they also offer sushi in addition to traditional pub food, and order your picnic ‘to-go’.
