Story
OFFSHORE ADVENTURES with H20 Watersports
PHOTOS & STORY BY NADIA HALL
H2O’s founder, James Harvey, speaks with the kind of easy, mellifluent drawl you’d expect from a seasoned adventurer. In business for over twenty years, he’s learned that you can’t always plan a good time. While there may not be a formula, he’s certainly got the ingredients. “We supply the boat, a cooler of ice, snorkel gear, fishing gear. The rest happens out there,” he says, motioning towards the horizon. Motor and sailboat rentals, kayaking and paddle-boarding are just a few of the examples of what H2O has to offer. Preferring to keep his operation intimate and personal, his latest focus is on the boat rental experience and all the accouterments that enhance it. He gets reservations for holidays many months in advance and the do-it-yourself concept is a large part of the appeal. H2O provides maps of the surrounding waters, and the staff point out landmarks and give suggested itineraries. The rest of the experience is up to you. “Take out one of our boats and see for yourself!” It,s an offer we can’t refuse and we do just that, heading out early one morning to test their wares. The journey is restricted to the west end of the island, anywhere between Dockyard and Hamilton. H2O suggests a few options: Go around the point of Dockyard or stop in for lunch; go through Watford Bridge, carry onto Somerset Bridge and check out all the little bays as far as Pompano Beach, use the boat to get to Hamilton, have lunch, shop all day and come back. “It gives you a really cool option for getting around Bermuda.” “You’ve got Paradise lakes as well (something of a local treasure) which are beautiful in and of themselves. We’re really blessed with this landscape or,” he corrects himself, “waterscape that we have. We may not realize it, but we really are.” “We make it so easy for you that no qualifications are required. We get so many-first timers. I guess that goes to show how easy it is to navigate around the west end. It’s really not that hard, if you’re adventurous enough to try it. We get that all the time, a group of friends, none of whom has ever driven a boat. Usually, by the time they return, there is someone who has stepped up to the rank of Captain and he (or she!) is the hero for the day.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 22 4 This Week in Bermuda | June 2014

Bermuda Ha Ha NON-LABOUR DAY BY ROGER CROMBIE
In 1981, I was working in Hamilton for an American company that bought and sold airplanes. I’d do the books and translate Bermudian into English, explain what a Premier was, how Sandys was pronounced, that sort of thing. My colleagues, American all, didn’t much care about Bermuda beyond the lack of taxation and ready availability of rum swizzles. Their idea of ‘back of town’ would have been Reid Street. We were billeted at Palm Grove in Devonshire, a fabulous place to live. When news first broke of the potential for a General Strike that year, I told my boss, whom we’ll call Harley. He lived next door, in perpetual fear (of Bermuda, not me). Harley advised that we buy all the canned goods on the Island and arm ourselves. I nixed both ideas, although I have always suspected that he went ahead and turned his cottage into a well-stocked warehouse/arsenal. He flew up to the States and returned with all-purpose survival packs which included fur-lined parkas, dried food good until 2081 and other useless junk. I threw mine out. The day before the strike was called, we sent the women and children to the States. Harley and I stayed. He was the captain and had to go down with the ship, and I was blithely unconcerned, having been in Bermuda long enough to know that whatever happened, life would continue. My notion, that Harley was over-reacting like a delusional headcase, was ignored. The strike was called and the Gazette predicted that the Island would sink, or explode, I forget which. An hour later, a telex (like a text message, kids) arrived, telling us that the wife of the company’s owner had unexpectedly decided to fly to Bermuda with a girlfriend that very morning for a vacation. The strikers were massing at the airport. Harley announced that he would “hold the compound” and I would scooter off to the airport on a suicide mission. If possible, I was to tell our visitors to return immediately to the States. It was a good plan, in that it gave me the afternoon off. “Make me proud, soldier,” said Harley as I strapped on my helmet and went to war. He grimaced. “If it gets ugly, you know what to do.” I had no idea what to do, which is my default position in life. I clambered heroically aboard my bike and headed off down to the airport. Passing Blue Hole Hill, I swung onto the Causeway. A distant, faint din was audible. It turned out to be steel drums. Despite the very real and historic General Strike being held, good spirits prevailed. People were enjoying their non-labour day. I found the women and urged them to fly away at once. They just laughed and asked a taxi driver to take them to the beach, which he did. I went home and did a little laughing myself. There wasn’t another general strike while I was living in Bermuda, so I never had another afternoon off.

OFF SHORE ADVENTURES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 with H20 Watersports
STORY & PHOTOGRAPHY BY NADIA HALL
We opt for a cruise around Mangrove Bay, with kayaks and paddleboards in tow, and a picnic hamper for a secluded lunch along the way. The pickings are delicious and provide ample fuel for a paddle and kayak toward the Vixen, a nearby shipwreck, to feed the fish. “We’ve been operating under the H2O banner for the past three and a half years, but have been at the Cambridge location for 17 years. As far as what I’m doing right now, I’m really enjoying it. I wake up every morning looking forward to work and having fun. It’s a good little business.” Some might say it’s the Bermudian Dream. “I just feel like I’ve got to get everybody out on the water. It’s the best way for anybody to see Bermuda, to live Bermuda. Show you what you’ve been missing!” He laughs, “Not to get all evangelical on you or anything.” We ask him what he’s cooking up for the future. “More accoutrements, more tailored experiences. For example, fishing is really popular. Even without leaving land, there is an area along Cambridge beach and Long Bay that is famous for bonefish, which is a game fish that gives a hell of a fight. When you get it on a light tackle, it’s a fight to remember. We can provide the rods you need to hook one. Or consider reef-fishing: you really do not need to go far to catch enough for dinner. We give you the right kind of bait and send you to the right locations. If you would like to eat what you catch you can go to Somerset Country Squire or Cambridge who will charge you a plating fee, which could be as little as $12. They’ll cook the fish, vegetables and sides. We also have a lot of guesthouses in the Somerset area and those kinds of independent travellers will take the fish home and do their own thing. So, in the case of fishing we are able to serves the needs of all types of clients. He maintains that the size of the operation is what sets him apart from all the other providers. It allows for an intimacy and focus that larger groups cannot. “I highly recommend our Jet Ski Safaris which are properly guided excursions of the West End on jet skis. Jet skis, believe it or not, actually give you the advantage of getting really up close and personal with all the wildlife out there in Bermuda’s waters and on the shoreline. We never go out with more than 5 skis per tour. How do you show a group of people the same amazing time on more than five different vessels all at the same thing? Its crazy!” he 22 This Week in Bermuda | June 2014

laughes.” We are committed to being able to guarantee the quality of the experience for every guest and I just feel that is not possible with more than five skis. With small numbers I can offer amazing experiences for all riders.” While the busy season is typically May through October, H2O is open full-time from the end of March until the end of November. “As for the rest of the winter, we can make it happen as long as the weather allows. Technically we’re open all year round. People rent boats and even go on Jet Ski Safari on Christmas Day.” Catering provided by Cambridge Beaches

Art Matters THE BERMUDA BIENNIAL 2014: A VIEW FROM THE EDGE BY LISA HOWIE, DIRECTOR, BERMUDA NATIONAL GALLERY
Catherine C.R. Lapsley, In My Life Number Seven, 2012, acrylic on canvas. Collection of the artist.
The Bermuda Biennial is a platform for the Island’s contemporary art scene. Started in 1994, the exhibition continues to represent the vitality and creativity of local artists, and provides an opportunity for these artists to engage in an internationally juried process. Since 1998, Bacardi Limited has generously been the Signature Sponsor. This year’s jurors were Isolde Brielmaier (a New York-based curator, writer and program consultant, as well as Visiting Professor, Tisch School of the Arts at NYU) and Amanda Coulson (Executive Director at the National Gallery of Bahamas; curator, art critic and co-founder of the VOLTA art fairs in Basel and New York). 2014 marks the 11th Anniversary of this important exhibition and this year a theme was established: A View from the Edge. Artists were asked to address how the physical reality of an island informs one’s identity. To consider questions such as: How do we transcend restriction or embrace limitation? In what ways are we both bounded and connected, living in confinement and paradise, experiencing insularity and resilience? The jurors said of the submissions: “As guests in Bermuda, we were conscious of our own placement on the edge, being given a glimpse into a community with which we saw moments of divergence from our usual field of reference, but also many connections to our own roots and experiences. In any culture or country the artist is the one who looks at the world differently, who sets off down a new avenue of inquiry, and who has the bravery to share his or her usually unique worldview. We are so privileged, therefore, to be invited to view the submissions, many of which were extraordinary, original, unique and breathtaking.” The Bermuda Biennial 2014 will be featured in several spaces: at the BNG in Hamilton, Queen Elizabeth Park (Par-la-ville) in Hamilton, and the BNG East in St. George’s. Admission is free. The experience is memorable. Visit us today. Take away a memento of your experience with a BNG art book: Impressions of Bermuda or Bermuda National Gallery: An Introduction. For more information: www.bng.bm or call (441) 295-9428/ 297-9428. Left: Alan C. Smith, Sky Is a Mirror, 2013, archival digital print. Collection of the artist. Right: Edwin M. E.

WHAT IS A BIENNIAL? BY STEPHANIE GIBSON
Unfortunately, art has gotten a bad rap for being unrelatable, boring and out of touch. This is where biennials come in. Directors and curators of museums that host these jurored events every two years, take on the herculean task of sifting through art to find works that are both accessible and contemporary, in hopes of creating an exhibition that accurately portrays not only the pulse of the art world, but is representative of the culture in which the exhibit takes place. It is a daunting task. The concept of a biennial art show originated in Venice in 1895, as a means to reignite Venetian art’s waning global appeal. Institutions across the globe followed suit and by 1990s over 200 museums used the concept of a biennial to bring the art of their region to the world stage. The surge of biennials generated artistic dialogue across nations, provided international exposure for artists and allowed local audiences to engage with contemporary art. Such a large undertaking comes with its challenges. Museums are constantly trying to find a way to balance international engagement and social relevance. Both the Venice Biennale and the Whitney Biennial struggled against being labeled elitist and conventional. They managed to remedy these problems by consciously finding ways to promote social inclusion and universal representation. Not all museums have been so lucky. After only two exhibitions, the Johannesburg Biennial dissolved; ending its second edition a month early. Recognizing these challenges, the Bacardi Limited Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Bermuda Art is constantly seeking ways to exhibit art that is both contemporary yet exudes a distinct local feel. This year the Bermuda National Gallery asks artists to present work that portrays both the benefits and challenges of living on an island. The artwork will exhibit the inherent tension that arises when living in paradise that also creates isolation. It is a feeling that all residents experience and grapple with. Previous biennials have had a distinctly Bermudian feel, and have even featured work that directly addresses Bermudian culture and heritage. It will be interesting however, to experience an entire exhibition centered around this theme. While all of the art will be 36 This Week in Bermuda | June 2014

inspired by the same place, Bermuda, each artist experiences and engages with his or her surroundings differently, and will therefore present artwork with a distinct point of view. The end result is bound to be relatable, yet refreshing for both residents and visitors alike.

Health, Beauty & Fitness M-CORE STORY BY NADIA HALL PHOTOGRAPHY BY AKIL J. SIMMONS
Upon entering Monroe Darrell’s airy Laffan Street studio, you get a sense that he’s doing things a little differently. Just a stone’s throw from the city’s centre, yet miles away from the stale set-up of your average gym, Monroe is taking what he considers “a greener approach to exercise and fitness.” The room is minimal, displaying some unusual apparatus. Windows on three sides provide a cool breeze and I quickly forget my former dewiness on the stuffy street below as I sink into a hammock strung up in one corner. His resume paints a clear picture. A graduate of the Army School of Physical Training in the UK, he’s provided voluntary fitness instruction for new recruits at The Bermuda Regiment and rehabilitation programs for those suffering from injury or disability. After long-term contracts with Allied World Assurance, AIG and the Fairmont Southampton Princess he began to feel frustrated with the traditional gym model and took six months off to travel before opening his own studio just over a year ago. It was an organic progression. Always looking for ways to put his own “twist” on things, his decision to go solo came when he realized he didn’t need fancy equipment. Couple that with time spent in the hospitality industry and a lifelong passion for exercise, and M-Core was born. 40 This Week in Bermuda | June 2014

No longer restricted to four walls, his program will not only get you outside to take advantage of some of Bermuda’s stunning terrain, but also outside of your own limitations. He encourages clients to challenge their own expectations, to break down old ways of thinking and form new habits to really yield results – to see these obstacles not as challenges, but for their personal benefit. After witnessing how willing those in recovery are to push themselves, he encourages the otherwise able-bodied to do the same. It’s an entire lifestyle overhaul, focusing on mind as well as body. These are healthy habits that continue whether you’re at home or on vacation. He’s hosted fitness focused birthday parties, Bridal Bootcamp for impending weddings, couples’ sessions that focuses on weight-loss and flexibility, expeditions that incorporate martial arts, acro-yoga, functional training, and lots of core work. The key, he assures me, is to “be consistent and creative.” Darrell believes that it is consistency that breeds results, which in turn breed better habits. And creativity keeps it interesting. Why not stage some military manoeuvres in the lushly labyrinthine Tom Moore’s Jungle followed by a relaxing swim in one of its many caves? Or run the sandy trails that stretch alongside the South Shore beaches. For Monroe is as firm about down time as he is about working hard and meditation is a huge part of M-Core’s philosophy. The most important thing is the mindset. He likens the mentality to a torn muscle or a pinched nerve, “You need to strengthen it, not pacify it.” And when you’ve really worked up a sweat? He motions toward the windows, as if to say to the sky, “Let the breeze blow it out.” www.thisweek.bm 41

FORGIVENESS IS FREEDOM BY DERYN HIGGINS MH.D ROHUN THERAPIST
Years ago I would walk around carrying grudges and deep resentments about things that had happened in my life or what people had said about or did to me. I soon found out that resentments help no one, especially not me. Resentments caused me a lot of pain and I would avoid certain people places and things to not have to feel the feelings they brought up. This was a form of escape not to acknowledge what happened and what feelings it had triggered in me. After awhile of walking around with this toxic inferno of anger, it started to leak out in other forms and I became a very angry and negative person. It took a crossroads in my life to get help and on a path of spirituality and positive growth. The first thing was to forgive myself for the things that I allowed to happen, or missed out on or how I treated myself. The second thing was to make a list of people who had hurt

me and to acknowledge my part in it and then to make amends for what I did and forgive them. I had some biggies and it took time to get around to them. You may say, “well you don’t know my story and I can never forgive”. My suggestion would be to start with yourself and start with the small ones and over time, it will get easier for you to tackle the big ones. There may be some you just can’t even think about and that is ok, just focus on what you can do. It’s in the forgiving that we are forgiven. It is much better to release that pain than to hold onto it like a toxic poison which can eventually manifest into an illness. In the forgiving we can also see what pain the other person must have been in as well to say those things or do those actions towards us. So compassion can come in to understand they are doing the best that they can with what they know. People can only do so much with the understanding, awareness, and knowledge that they have. That is not to say that their behavior is acceptable or excusable, however for our own spiritual growth we must be aware of their pain. When you begin to love yourself enough to rise above the old situation, then the understanding and the forgiveness can be easier. I am available to assist anyone into doing this work and I ran a” Forgiveness is Freedom” workshop last month and it was a huge success with eight wonderful women. Forgiveness is Freedom workshop will be held on Thursday 5th June from 6pm - 8pm,. Please contact My Sereni-Tea for informtaion about this workshops including cost at 296 2114. Until next month remember “I am forgiven and I am free”

Tall Tales ADVENTURERS GUIDE TO BERMUDA
The Unfinished Cathedral & The Bermuda Triangle BY ROD FARRINGTON
The Spinners are five teenagers who live in St George’s, but use the Island of Bermuda as their playground. Some locals call them the “Goonies” of Bermuda others call them the “Harry Potters” of Bermuda, but they just call themselves the “Spinners”. While other kids are texting and playing video games the Spinners play out their adventures in the forts, jungles, beaches and historic sites that abound in Bermuda. Each week one of the Spinners, Michael, Samantha (Sam), Keno, Portagee or Graham will take you on an adventure to one of their favorite spots in Bermuda or maybe even in the Bermuda Triangle. This week Graham will tell you about one of his favorite places in Bermuda. Hi I’m Graham. One of the most mysterious places in Bermuda is in my home village of St. George’s. Most people look at the Unfinished Cathedral and simply see an unfinished cathedral. The Spinners have learned that what you see is not always what you get. You better sit down and I’ll spin you the tale of the Unfinished Cathedral. In the 1870’s when the new Cathedral was being constructed in St. George’s, the construction progress was severely compromised with problem after problem. In fact, after years of construction the site was abandoned because of a lack of funds and the decision to repair the old cathedral instead, but if the truth was really know it was because of many unexplained phenomenon around the site. The Unfinished Cathedral now just sits there slowing crumbling away through the years awaiting needed repairs. Not long ago the Spinners visited the Unfinished Cathedral to try an experiment they had been thinking about for some time with our homemade magnetic/phenomenontic detector. It was late afternoon when we entered the ruins. Once inside we quickly turned on the special detector, to our surprise the gauges went berserk, the loud crackling in the headset was almost too much for me to bear. For years electromagnetic anomalies and strange magnetic fields around the Unfinished Cathedral have been detected, however no one has been able to give a logical explanation. Portagee has also detected similar, but weaker electromagnetic and magnetic fields at Shark Hole, but that’s another adventure. Portagee being the electronic whiz kid that he is, wondered if these conditions had something to do with the Bermuda Triangle. We continued on searching hoping to find the source of the electromagnetic fields. It did not take long. The magnetic fields were off the charts by the west entrance to the cathedral. The strange but true fact is that just above the west entrance doorway is a perfect triangle etched in the stones. 56 This Week in Bermuda | June 2014

Attractions
Some say that with the right key and storm conditions this is a gateway to the Bermuda Triangle, but we’re not talking. For you doubters please notice that when you visit the Unfinished Cathedral the west entrance is now sealed with a locked gate and a danger sign posted on it. No matter what you believe about the Bermuda Triangle the Unfinished Cathedral is truly a sight worth seeing with its outstanding architecture. Just heed the signs, look and admire, but don’t enter.

From The Handle Bars of Shoshanna
WITH 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 aka tastes like chicken) 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 a beautiful island full of resources the decision was made. And the Town of St. George’s was established.
My view from behind bars… “It is the securest spot in the universe, being environed round with rocks all but one narrow entrance, guarded by seven forts, which render it inaccessible not only to pirates but to the united force of France and Spain.” 1727 You can see them dotted around the perimeter of the island - mighty stone fortresses on our hilltops equipped with massive cannons pointing out towards the sea. Throughout most of its history, Bermuda was actually a strategic military centre that played an important role in a number of wars (although we may have found ourselves on the wrong side of history a couple times!) and our forts are a great reminder of this portion of our past. And don’t worry - you don’t have to be a military enthusiast or history buff to enjoy these incredible cultural, historical and scenic attractions! Shoshanna and I love visiting the ones that are right here in St. George’s. Grab a water bottle, your camera, your walking shoes (if you don’t have a ride like me ) and your inner child to spend a day exploring these cool sites.
GATES FORT Walk straight down to the end of Cut Road and visit this small fort built between 1612 and 1615 to guard the St. George’s harbour. It was named for Thomas Gates, who was sailing on the Sea Venture to be governor of Virginia when he was wrecked in St. George’s. Like most of the forts, it has incredible views and, when we do have a cruise ship visit the town, watching it navigate the super-narrow ‘Town Cut’ on the side of the fort is like witnessing Bermuda’s very own Panama Canal.

Attractions FROM THE HANDLEBARS OF SHOSHANNA continued...
ALEXANDRA BATTERY Continue from Gates Fort along Barry Road and stop by Alexandra Battery, a fortification built in the 1860s to protect the Narrows Channel, the island’s main shipping lane. Climb wrought iron ladders to high viewing platforms, jump into ‘hidey holes’, and shout an ‘echo’ into the deep artillery units. This fort ‘complex’ has a great beachy cove, perfect for kids, and a huge open grassy space on the cliff ’s edge ideal for yoga. Or if you prefer, awesome photo ops.
FORT ST. CATHERINE The largest fort in Bermuda, Fort St. Catherine is just down the road, and is truly an extraordinary attraction, with the interior set up as an interactive and fun museum. Celebrating its 400th anniversary this summer (with special events EVERY Saturday in June), the fort was built in 1614 and is ridiculously impressive with a moat, drawbridge, tunnels, towers, redoubts, ramparts, beaches, knights in shining armour AND a ghost. Seriously. These forts and others in the parish (including some that are totally off the grid – if you’re adventurous you’ll find them!) were key factors in our town receiving UNESCO World Heritage Site Status so they are definitely not to be missed.

Golf Across The Island “PRACTICE: THE MORE I PRACTICE THE LUCKIER I GET” BY KIM SWAN, J.P. TEACHING PROFESSIONAL
The great game of golf, like most sports, offers rewards to players who make a habit of practicing effectively and a great example is living golf legend Gary Player who has a great quote: “the more I practice, the luckier I get” Few will argue with the concept of consistent practice but only a small percentage of golfers make the time to practice consistently and even less practice effectively. Many players waste valuable time attempting to practice by practicing in the least productive manner, engaging in idle chatter, offering or accepting unsolicited advice and then wondering why Gary Player’s quote doesn’t apply to them. There are ways to practice that make your efforts more meaningful, compared to the person who hits a bucket of balls looking to see how many good shots show up. In a lot of cases practicing without a purpose simply reinforces bad habits. At Port Royal Golf Developmental our coaching focuses on the fundamentals of the game of golf - Aim, Grip, Posture, Rhythm. Balance, Patience and Confidence - by encouraging our students to practice using specific drills to develop good swing habits through muscle memory, which in time promotes a consistent and dependable golf swing. Our aim is to assist the golfer make use of proper techniques and eventually to feel comfortable using a proper grip; taking dead aim; standing over the ball with proper posture, ball position and stance; and to be able to swing in balance with synchronized timing. These objectives require a golfer to practice them repeatedly to have a chance to make a consistent golf swing. It is NOT a quick fix solution - it is a process to make a swing that is based in turning within ones physical capabilities and as best you can - hitting the back of the golf ball and continuing through the shot. An important by-product from disciplined practice is “Patience” which can be learned and it is much needed to play great golf. The golfer who can endure improving bad habits will not only gain the satisfaction of better control of their golf shots but will become more patient as well. At Port Royal Golf Developmental Program, our aim is to help our players enjoy their golf by improving their ability to hit quality golf shots. We also encourage our students to play golf often, as it is on the golf course that we want the shots to work. We invite you to visit us at Port Royal Golf Course - Home of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf - where our public golf facility awaits, to allow you to practice, play and relax.

Heritage Matters WAITING FOR THE LUFTWAFFE BY DR. EDWARD HARRIS, MBE JP
It is believed that Bermuda is of as great importance in the Atlantic as Pearl Harbor is in the Pacific.—Captain Jules James USN., 30 June 1943.
Two of the buildings being erected at Fort Bell in the late summer of 1942; the Commandant’s Headquarters is on the left, while the Permanent Barracks B-76 and B-77 are on the right. Parts of each of the structures appeared to be without camouflage and are painted white, perhaps to make the complex of buildings appear smaller to an airborne observer; inset, the ‘Luftwaffe Eagle’ (Bermuda Archives: PA 2004:0006).
During the Second World War (1939-45), the value of Bermuda for American military strategy lay in the fact that it was ‘the only base far enough off the central part of the Atlantic coastline of the United States to extend long-range patrolling by seaplanes into the Atlantic Ocean and to tie in coastal patrolling, both aerial and surface, with similar operations from Halifax and the West Indies’. At the same time, the fall of Bermuda to the German enemy would turn these advantages around by using the Island as a forward station for an attack by air on the East Coast and its shipping. However, the ability of the German Forces to effect an occupation of Bermuda, or to have a large enough air force, or Luftwaffe, to effect operations in that direction was indeed questionable, although in the early years of the Second World War, it was perhaps difficult to determine what Germany’s capabilities might be. Jens Alers, Honorary German Consul at Bermuda, kindly submitted the following analysis: ‘The Luftwaffe had only limited potential to project airpower beyond the occupied European continent. Unlike the British, the Germans had no overseas air bases from where warplanes could have been launched, but to some degree the Luftwaffe was able to do so from Norway, Greece and also North Africa. The Kriegsmarine did not have any aircraft carriers: it was one of the fundamental analytical failures of the German naval high command to pursue the constructions of major battleships such as Bismarck and Tirpitz instead of also considering such carriers.’ In spite of such views, which may have been current in 1941, US anticipation of a German attack was exhibited in the new buildings arising at Fort Bell on the northern perimeter of Kindley Field (name somewhat eponymously for one Captain Field Kindley, a US air-ace in World War One). My eyes was drawn to the matter by Antony Siese, the optometrist, who showed me some images that were part of a collection owned by an American lady whose father owned the construction company that build Fort Bell and Kindley Field. To one’s astonishment, a number of the buildings were camouflaged. Gone were the classic Bermuda white roofs and walls as entire new structures were painted with colours, possibly black, greens and greys, as if they were some ships being readied for the war at sea. 70 This Week in Bermuda | June 2014
HERITAGE
Matters
On 10 September 1942, the Air Corps Administration Building was painted in camouflage colours and shapes, including the roof, although it appears to be a Bermuda home with two large chimneys that existed before Fort Bell was constructed (Bermuda Archives: PA 2004:0006). Nestled among cedar trees on Longbird Island, fuel tanks were thought to be protected by a camouflage of netting (Bermuda Archives: PA 2004:0006).
The disguise, from an aerial perspective, was also applied to existing buildings that the US Forces converted, illustrated by the Bermuda home that became the headquarters of the Air Corps, next to the newly-built air traffic control tower, itself slathering in the multi-colour, multi-shaped designs of camouflage paint. The camouflage extended to more natural covering materials, as fuel tanks (and presumably gun emplacements) were hidden under roofs of tree branches and netting. Achtung: the men of Fort Bell and Kindley Field were clearing waiting and ready for an air assault by Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring’s and Germany’s oceanic Air Force, the Luftwaffe!

Do You Know … ABOUT NATHANIEL NORTH BERMUDIAN PIRATE AND RAJAH IN MADAGASCAR? BY HORST AUGUSTINOVIC
Nathaniel North from Tucker’s Town, left Bermuda in 1689 at the age of seventeen to work as a cook on a Bermuda sloop. On reaching Barbados he was impressed for a man-of-war of King William’s navy, but managed to make a quick escape by jumping overboard and swimming ashore. He spent the next few years smuggling and privateering, eventually capturing the 18-gun Brigantine Pelican with some shipmates. Having obtained a commission to attack French shipping near West Africa, they instead sailed to the Indian Ocean where they captured a Madagascar chief whom they managed to ransom for $1,000. Having been elected quartermaster of the Pelican by her crew, Nathaniel North, with two other pirate ships captured the Great Mohammed with a large booty of gold coins. Apparently not fully joining the battle, the Pelican did not share in the booty and pursued her fortunes along the Malabar coast of India. There they captured three ships of which they kept one and renamed her Dolphin. During a hurricane the Dolphin was badly damaged and Nathaniel North and his fellow pirates returned to Madagascar where they repaired the Dolphin and split their booty, with each pirate receiving around £700. Becoming quartermaster of the Dolphin in 1699, they plundered a large Danish ship and sailed to St. Mary’s Island to divide their loot. When four British warships arrived, they decided not to surrender, but rather burn the Dolphin. While some of the pirates accepted a pardon, Nathaniel North did not trust the British and decided to flee in a small boat to Madagascar. Having overturned in a storm, he had to swim twelve miles to shore, losing everything he owned. Nathaniel North then served on the Defiant and became its captain in 1704 and after a period of pirating, became the ruler of a pirate colony in Ambonavoula. In 1707 he sailed again as quartermaster of the Charles, capturing two British ships. When becoming captain

Know of the Charles, he had the misfortune of wrecking her on a reef. A wealthy man, Nathaniel North then settled in Madagascar in 1709, living with the King of Maratan and finally acquiring an estate and ‘several wives and children’. At some point during a native conflict, Nathaniel North was captured by the opposing natives and killed. It is also claimed, however, that he was murdered by the family of one of his young wives ‘for his poor treatment of her’. Either way it seems a predictable ending to the extraordinary life of this young man from Tucker’s Town. Left: A map of Madagascar, ca. 1700.
