LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF HAMILTON THE WOR. MR. CHARLES GOSLING Welcome to the City of Hamilton It is my honor, as the Mayor, to welcome you to the City of Hamilton, one of the smallest cities in the world, rich in history, culture and heritage. The original Town of Hamilton was incorporated by an Act of the Bermuda Legislature in 1793. Located in a sheltered harbour in the central and largest parish, Pembroke, it was named in honour of the then Governor, Captain Henry Hamilton. The town quickly became the capital of Bermuda when the seat of Government was transferred from St. George’s in 1815. Following the completion of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, situated some 400 yards east of the present City Hall, the status of City was conferred upon the Town of Hamilton in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The City of Hamilton has a resident population of about 1,100 and an estimated daytime population of approximately 13,340 (40% of Bermuda’s working population). This number increases significantly when tourists are added to the equation. In addition to the excellent cuisine that can be found in the city’s many varied restaurants, the shopping is easy and the historic sites are a must see. I can attest to the fact that Hamilton is a delightful capital to get around on foot. Measuring about a quarter square mile, the entire area can be walked in about 30 minutes however, exploring, discovering and enjoying the sites, both historic and new, can take hours, maybe even days. Anyone wishing to explore the City in depth can participate in the Walkway of History tour that was created as part of Bermuda’s 400th Anniversary, in 2009. Plaques have been installed in the sidewalk at various points along the route to identify important sites of architectural, social, cultural or historical significance in the City. This self-guided tour starts and ends on Church Street in front of the City Hall, and enables the pedestrian to learn about the history of the city and may be taken as a whole or in parts. Some of the sights to discover include:

City Hall

Opened in 1960, the building is of traditional Bermuda architecture with a Scandinavian influence in respect of the tower. In 2010 we celebrated the building’s 50th anniversary by reproducing a number of activities that took place at the opening, including inviting some of the workers who helped with the construction. City Hall’s amenities include a theatre, two galleries housing the Bermuda National Gallery and the Bermuda Society of Arts, the Mayor’s Parlour, and the administrative offices of the City of Hamilton.

Victoria Park Bandstand

Painstakingly dismantled, refurbished and reassembled in 2009, the Victorian Bandstand was originally shipped to Bermuda in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in June 1887.

Wesley Square

A purpose built recreational area officially opened in July 2009 to commemorate the men and women who in 1959, with bravery, tenacity and a vision for a better Bermuda, staged a peaceful theatre boycott and protested for equality, freedom and the end to segregation.

City Parks

There are four large public parks within the City of Hamilton that are open to the general public between 8am to sunset every day. They are: Fort Hamilton, Barr’s Bay Park, Par-la-Ville Park and my favorite, Victoria Park. Again, welcome to Hamilton, Bermuda at it best. For more information visit www.cityofhamilton.bm.

BERMUDA haha BERMUDA ha ha Happy new year By Roger Crombie Happy New Year. It’s 2012, the year it’s all supposed to end. According to the Mayans, the whole ball of wax goes ka-blooey on December 12, which is a shame, because I have an appointment to get my nails done that day. In business, a problem should be seen as an opportunity. The chance to make a buck on the turn of the calendar has been a staple of mankind’s business activities for at least 1,000 years. Back in 999AD, the belief was widespread in Europe that the world would end as midnight struck at the start of the year 1000. The source was Biblical: “a millennium” was to be followed by oblivion for all except the most pious. The people of 999 were deeply superstitious. Believing the end to be nigh, a good number of Europeans, for example, sold their homes very cheaply, because they didn’t think they’d need them again. I’d be the guy on the other side of as many of those transactions as possible, for one simple reason. Say the world ended: I’d be dead, owning a lot of real estate. OK, that’s bad, but if I didn’t buy the houses, I’d be dead without owning real estate. Same difference. Now say the world didn’t end and house prices returned to normal: I’d be a gazillionaire. So, as next December draws near, if you feel like selling your waterfront property for about six cents on the dollar, call me. Whatever happens, December 12 will be a big day, because it’ll be 12/12/12, that rarest of occasions when the date can be written in the American and European style without confusion. That won’t happen again, by my reckoning, until February 2, 2102. Since you’ll be dead by then, why not sell me your house now? Think about it. You know it makes sense. The thing is, though: these dates are a made-up concept. There is no actual December, any more than there’s a Santa Claus. Dates are just a snappy convention we came up with to make business work more efficiently. Many other date counting systems are in use. In the Jewish calendar, it’s 5772. We are not much less superstitious than we were 3,500 years ago. We keep our fingers open and our eyes crossed, or vice versa. We hope for the best. We buy lottery tickets. We vote. We start new businesses. We buy toasters that we know will never work properly, but we think “This will be the one toaster ever made that works properly”. We are a triumph of expectation over experience. And thank God for that. Without hope, all is lost. With hope, all may still be lost, but the time before that happens is made more pleasant by hoping. That’s why I’m generously going to let you stay in your home after you sell it to me, until December 12. After that, you’ll either see the bailiffs or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. You may have trouble telling the difference.

ART IN THE community

HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY MASTERWORKS

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been almost four years since the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art opened its doors in the Botanical Gardens, and in that time over 50,000 people have come to visit from all over the world. From the very beginning of the Masterworks Foundation 25 years ago, Masterworks has hosted artists from South Africa, England, USA, Haiti, Canada, introduced new programmes for children, opened a wildly successful cafĂŠ with The Flying Chef, inspired people to tap into their creativity, worked with government on a new education initiative, acquired new artworks, members and volunteers, and this is only the beginning!

29 The museum houses over 2,000 works of Bermuda inspired art and photographs, and over 50,000 artifacts, each one telling a little piece of Bermuda’s story. Every visitor to the museum has been educated on Bermuda’s history and culture, thus fulfilling the mission of the museum to enrich the community. Starting on January 12th, 2012 with the official opening of the 25th Anniversary Exhibit “A Rock and an Ocean”, Masterworks kicks off what will be a very special year for the museum. Special events include a 25th Anniversary Black Tie Gala in February, an exhibition of the Queen’s Perot Stamps in April, a John Lennon tribute to be held in June, alongside various other exhibits of local artists and of course the annual Charman Prize in the fall. Masterworks looks forward to celebrating throughout the year and reflecting back on the years. The future of The Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art is bright, and we look forward to the next 25 years! January 12th Special 25th Anniversary exhibit “A Rock and an Ocean” opens in the Butterfield Family Gallery. Selection of the top works from the Permanent Collection on view. January 12th – May 29th “A Wonderful World in Watercolour” opens on the Mezzanine Level. Homer, Turner and Pleissner works on display.

ARTIST of

the month

CHRIS DAWSON | FINE ART You can find Chris Dawson on any given Monday, Friday or Saturday quietly painting something extraordinary in his studio. His work is displayed beautifully from one end of the room to the other and one particular wall showcases a collection he calls ‘Little Glimpses of Bermuda’. This collection consists of small paintings featuring a variety of scenes across the island that Chris stops to explore and capture in oil paint. Chris specializes in oil on canvas, linen and wood panels. His work is incredible and if you ask him to tell you about a painting he has on display you just might hear a heartfelt story that will put a smile on your face for days to come. When did it all begin? In my last semester in college at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design (N.S.C.A.D) where I obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts, I took an oil painting class and from then forward oil paint has been my preferred medium. Prior to that class I had explored illustration, graphic design, airbrushing, silkscreen printing etc, but something wasn’t right. When I discovered oils, everything fell into place. Please tell me about the painting on display ‘Forgotten But Not Gone’. This painting was originally inspired by “Whistler’s Mother” a painting originally titled “Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Artists Mother by James Abbott McNeil Whistler”. I created a Bermudian version of the painting and had my grandmother model for me. She doesn’t actually use a cane in real life, however, this was a necessary part of the feel of the painting. I had her sit in a similar pose as Whistler’s Mother but in my version

she was overlooking South Shore, Bermuda. The painting revolves around the elderly and the things that happen to them as they grow old. Health insurance issues, pension problems, family and friends stop coming around as often. So many of our elderly people stay inside their houses, alone. No one cares, no one stops by and when they do, they are in a hurry. The painting is mulled, not your typical Bermuda blue sky, instead it is grey and windy. I incorporated hints of Sunlight creeping in brushing her face; she is looking towards the light as a sign of hope for the future. Please tell us about the painting titled “Waiting”. This painting is a combination of sea and the architecture of a bus stop. I was driving by one day and stopped, the light was perfect. I asked my girlfriend to walk over to the bus stop and stand as if she was waiting for the bus. I took a few photos and we were on our way. The painting is 30 x 22 oil on canvas. Just after I completed the painting, the bus stop was plastered and painted white. Please tell us about the painting that appeared in this year’s Charman Prize at the Masterworks Museum of Fine Art. Mike is a local in St. George’s. I’d see him just about every day as he would dock his boat right outside of my studio. He is a real character and one day he came into the studio after I had a long and challenging painting day and lifted my spirits with his enthusiasm and encouraging words. I knew I wanted to paint a portrait for the Charman show but I was waiting for the right person to inspire me to paint them. Mike was perfect. We setup a photo shoot and I didn’t want to show him the painting in progress until it was complete. That was a hard thing to do. I had a lot of his mates stop by and see it and I know they were itching to tell him how it was coming out. He couldn’t believe that I painted a life size portrait of him when he saw Continued on pg 33

These are smaller oil paintings on quarter inch hard panel. I drive around having a general idea of what I want to paint and when I find the perfect setting, I set up my easel and paint. I enjoy working in real life. Elements change, shadows change, and light changes a landscape from one minute to the next. It is a more spontaneous way of painting and more expressive.

HeritagE MATTERS by Dr. Edward Harris, MBE

The “Oldest House” about 1890, in Hamilton Parish.

Nobility of Bermudian Architecture If Bermuda’s prosperity continues to increase, it is to be hoped that the designers of new houses that appear will seek their inspiration in Bermuda’s own older architecture. It is eminently appropriate to the climate and other local conditions, harmonious and in scale with its surroundings. It has a unity, charm and simplicity of an architecture that is the unaffected expression and natural outcome of environment and, from it simplicity, is entirely adaptable to the modern requirements of Bermuda. —John Humphreys, Bermuda Houses, 1923. There is perhaps no other single physical entity that abidingly represents the nobility of the human race than architecture. In this the architectural heritage of Bermuda is very much part of the rule and it is an exceptional class of such historic monuments. As the inscription on the tomb of Sir Christopher Wren, the greatest of English church-builders, stated: “If you seek his monument, look around you”, wherein the entire skyline of London was full of steeples, soaring heavenwards in tribute to God and grounded in the earth as memorials of the fine handiwork of the builders of his time. Architecture is the most enduring reminder of the Past and thus the ‘Seven Wonders’ of the ancient world fell not in literary or philosophical bins, but into the great corpus of grand works of architectural art. Architecture (and its by-product, stratification— the essence of archaeology) encompasses the globe, for wherever people have settled in the last few thousand years, they have erected houses, towns, streets, fortifications, fancy tombs, churches and temples, outhouses and any number of other edifices for practical usage or earthly The “Oldest House”, Harrington Sound in 1897.

Much of that architecture represents some of the finest artistic achievements of people, as they reordered the landscape to fit their ideas of appropriate environments in which to live out their lives.

Architecture in Bermuda is no exception to those assertions, but in the ecological wont of ‘island species’, it developed its own wonderful varieties of building, especially houses. Using the local stone and cedar, Bermudians created a significant endemic art form, the Bermuda home, several hundred years ago. The World Heritage town of St. George’s, stands yet as one the finest examples of early architecture of Old World settlement in this hemisphere, but a Bermudian vernacular from foundation to roof top. Every section of the population had a hand in building these beautiful buildings, in their maintenance and handing-on to future generations. Throughout Bermuda there are perhaps several thousand other homes of various size and class affiliations which merit being on a register of historic buildings. Each contributes its facade and “Midhurst” in western Southampton, surroundings to the ambience demolished about 1960. that some of us and most visitors know and love as Bermuda.

DO YOU KNOW… by Horst Augustinovic

…About Bermuda’s First Postage Stamps, bad record keeping and unsuccessful speculators? In early 1865 arrangements were made for the preparation of Bermuda’s first three postage stamps - a One Penny stamp for local letters, a Six Penny stamp for letters sent to the British West Indies and British North America, as well as a One Shilling stamp for letters sent to the United Kingdom.

The stamps were printed by Thomas De La Rue and Company, using a portrait of Queen Victoria, engraved by Jean Ferdinand Joubert De la Ferte. Printed by the typographic process in sheets of 240, which were cut into four panes of 60 stamps each, the paper used was watermarked Crown CC and the stamps perforated 14. Specimens of the new stamps were put on display at Bermuda’s Public Library on August 1st, 1865, and following their arrival during the following month, the stamps were first used on September 25th, 1865.

Two Penny stamps were soon required and these arrived in Bermuda in March 1866. It was not until April 1872 that a Three Penny stamp was needed, following the reduction of the postage rate for letters sent to British North America. Production of these stamps was delayed by almost one year, due to the disagreement as to whether or not a portrait showing Queen Victoria as a widow should be used. The idea was dropped, however, due to the considerable costs involved, and the new stamps finally arrived in Bermuda in March of 1873. Unfortunately record keeping at the Bermuda Post Office left much to be desired and the Three Penny stamps were used within one year, without new supplies having been ordered from England. As there were about 40,000 One Shilling stamps left, it was decided to surcharge some of those stamps

‘Three Pence’. On February 21st, 1874, the Privy Council Minutes recorded ‘The Council approve of the issue of a portion of the redundant one shilling Postage Stamps in Store as three-penny stamps with a distinct crossing of

37 “three” or “3d” in a different coloured ink’. The overprinting was done by Sergeant Maddox of the Royal Engineers, with the Privy Council recording ‘The Council order the payment of the charge of Sergeant Maddox for converting one shilling Postage Stamps into three penny stamps at 3/- per 1,000 stamps’. A total of 13,000 stamps were overprinted.

One year after the ‘Three Penny’ stamp fiasco, it was the stock of the One Penny stamp that was exhausted. So in 1875 it was again found necessary to overprint other stamps in Bermuda. As the One Penny stamps were in much greater demand than the Three Penny stamps, it was decided to have the Queen’s Printer, Donald McPhee Lee, publisher of the Royal Gazette, carry out the printing of the larger quantity.

Half Penny, Two-and-a-Half Penny and Four Penny stamps were now required to cover various postage rates and these were issued in new designs. They were released in March 1880, November 1884 and sometime in 1880 respectively.

When reprinting various stamps, it was sometimes decided to change the colour of the stamps. Thus the Half Penny stamp was reprinted in green in November 1981, the Two Penny stamp in purple in June 1902, the Three Penny stamp in grey in January 1886 and the One Shilling stamp in brown in June 1892. Finally, in 1900 it was decided to charge for the mailing of local newspapers which up to then were sent free of postage. As there were no stamps for the Farthing postage rate, an urgent request was made for Farthing stamps and it was decided to print One Shilling stamps in grey, and overprint them ‘One Farthing’. The first shipment of 1,000 sheets (240,000 stamps) were all bought within 24 hours by speculators! Two more shipments of almost 1 million Farthing stamps were bought by collectors hoping for a quick return on their money, with the result that more than one hundred years later the Farthing stamps are hardly worth more than their face value. When first on display at the Public Library in 1865, the Royal Gazette commented that the new stamps ‘have been universally admired for elegance of design and neatness of execution’. For almost 150 years the admiration for these first postage stamps of Bermuda has never changed.

Golf Terminology – what do you mean? In the medical profession terminology is important. It can be used for identifying a disease, a type of surgery or the location of an ailment. Some terms you may be familiar with include dorsal or top, ventral or bottom, medial meaning middle, lateral meaning farthest from the midpoint. Golf terminology on the other hand can be, well let’s say not as specific. When we talk about releasing the golf club, most persons would believe we actually mean dropping or letting go of the club. Instead we are speaking of the rotation of the arm and the uncocking of the wrist. And there is my point! What do you mean? Here are a few terms from the PGA Golf Glossary that certainly could have a dif different meaning in a different world! ·Par the number of strokes an accomplished player is expected to make on a hole. ·Birdie A score of one stroke less than par…something an accomplished player does regularly and an unaccomplished player does by accident. ·Eagle A score of two strokes less than par…something an accomplished player does occasionally and an unaccomplished player only dreams about. ·Albatross A score of three strokes less than par…something an accomplished player does rarely and an unaccomplished player, well you get my drift! ·Borrow the amount of break or curvature the player allows for when making a breaking putt…accomplished players miss on the Pro side and unaccomplished players, well they just miss. ·Bump and Run a pitch shot that a golfer plays to a spot on a slope or green to deaden the speed before finishing its roll towards the cup. Anywhere else, the act of accidentally hitting someone’s vehicle and heading for the hills! ·Sandbagger Someone who pads his or her handicap to have an advantage when playing against the competition. Along the Mississippi River a sandbagger is welcomed during flood season. On a golf course, not so much! ·Whiff a complete miss of the ball with the swing. Anywhere else, a smell of something pleasurable or maybe not! ·Texas Wedge the use of the putter from off the green. In Dallas, the yanking of the under garments of the opposing team when the Aggies upset the Longhorns! ·Splash a shot played from a good lie in a sand bunker. In bars, the addition of a small amount of cranberry to a vodka drink! ·Smothered the result of a closed clubface resulting in a low curving shot. At the Waffle House, it’s the addition of onions on hash browns. BTW – I prefer scattered, smothered and covered…don’t ask! ·Shank one of the most despised shots in golf hit off the hosel of the golf club and squirting to the side. At your favorite restaurant the shank is one of the most popular

braised delicacies, usually veal and usually delicious! Trust me on this one; if you say shank, I hope you are dining! Golf – a great game with its own vocabulary. If you golf you get it - if not, well enough said!

The ZEUS 608a features a number of popular colors and patterns. The face shield is fully rotating and has a separate retractable sun visor. The face shield is removable and has a system similar to the shark helmets. The metal side plate has a pop out lever, if you pop it out and twist you can change your face shield from clear to smoked or tinted. An upper venting system offers proper airflow. The helmet shell is very sturdy and the 608a meets DOT safety standards in the U.S. If you reach inside the helmet you will feel that the cushion protection is excellent quality. The liner also covers all the EPS inside and has generous size ear pockets allowing intercoms and speakers to fit nicely (though you shouldn’t be riding with music while on your bike).

ZEUS 210C

The ZEUS 210C offers a Pilot style open face and fun graphics that blend with current fashion trends and lend some visibility to the wearer especially at night on Bermuda’s dark roads. The 210C is a light helmet with comfortable lining and it has a scratch resistant visor and rotates smoothly while offering good optical qualities. The helmets have a nice thick clear coat so the pattern should remain protected for a long time. The liner and sewn trim that surrounds the helmets shell are excellent quality.

WHAT TO SEE & DO

Dockyard and Western Parishes Dockyard Visitor Information Center Royal Naval Dockyard At The Dockyard Visitor Information Center (VIC) you will find everything you need to have a “Bermudaful” day. Conveniently located adjacent to the Cruise Ship Pier, Bus and Ferry stop, we offer up to date information on transport, local events, attractions and tours. Our friendly staff is on hand to assist you with local knowledge on where to go and what to do. Public Transport passes, wifi, phone cards, and tour tickets are available for purchase. Telephone 441 238-4842 THE ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARD Ireland Island, Sandys Work began on this massive complex in 1809, not long after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and just before the War of 1812. Envisioned as a strategic British military outpost that would make Bermuda the “Gibraltar of the West,” the Royal Naval Dockyard was built by slave and convict labour. The Dockyard locked its gates in 1951. Since then, the seventy-five acre site has been painstakingly renovated to accommodate museums, a movie theatre, restaurants, The Arts Centre and the Bermuda Craft Market. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BERMUDA Ireland Island, Sandys Located in the Keep of the Royal Naval Dockyard, this museum has become one of the island’s most frequently visited destinations since being opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1975. Its popularity has increased even more with the recent restoration and opening of Commissioner’s House. Elsewhere on the complex, exhibits chronicle both Bermuda’s association with the Royal Navy and its own interesting maritime history. In addition to a collection of Bermuda-made boats, there are relics from the Sea Venture, maps, the famous Tucker Treasure—collected from the sixteenth-century Spanish galleon the San Pedro—and many more artifacts. Open Monday to Sunday 9:30am-4:00pm (last admission 4pm). Adults $10, seniors $8, children under 13 FREE. For further information telephone 441 234-1333. COMMISSIONER’S HOUSE National Museum of Bermuda, Royal Naval Dockyard Located within the confines of the National Museum of Bermuda, Commissioner’s House dominates this complex and entire surroundings from its elevated position. Largely constructed between 1823 and 1828, this commanding Georgian ‘house’ epitomizes British imperial style, power and engineering wherewithal during the nineteenth century. An experimental building in several regards, Commissioner’s House may have been the first domestic project anywhere to use cast iron to support its floors and roof. Rescued from near dereliction through a protracted, award-winning restoration, the building—one of the most important on the island—now houses

ST. GEORGE’S AND EASTERN PARISHES St. George’s — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is where it all began, when in July 1609 the Sea Venture — en route from England to the new colony of Jamestown Virginia — encountered a violent storm and was shipwrecked on Bermuda’s reefs less than a mile off what is now St. Catherine’s Point. Miraculously, all on board survived the disaster and rowed ashore to Gates Bay, located at the eastern end of St. George’s. ST.

78 ST. PETER’S CHURCH Duke of York Street Situated in appropriate loftiness above the main street of St. George’s, St. Peter’s Church is one of the island’s most beloved landmarks and is the oldest Anglican church continuously occupied in the New World. The first church on the site was constructed in 1612 of native cedar and a thatched roof. This original edifice was replaced seven years later by a more permanent structure that lasted almost a hundred years, until the hurricane of 1712. Following this disaster, the church was again rebuilt. Open Mon. Sat. 10am-4pm. Anglican service 11:15am Sundays. THE OLD RECTORY Broad Alley, St. George’s, behind St. Peter’s Church Built in 1699, this charming cottage on one of the numerous picturesque back streets in St. George’s is one of Bermuda’s oldest houses.

Alexander Richardson in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Outisde viewing only. ST.

Open Tues-Sat 10am3pm. Admission $4. 297-4126. TOWN HALL AND THE STATE HOUSE Town of St. George Town Hall, the handsome building commanding King’s Square and bearing the town crest was begun in 1802, a few years after the Corporation of St. George’s was founded in 1797. The State House, located up a gentle elevation behind Town Hall, is one of the island’s oldest, most historically important buildings. Erected around 1620 by Governor Nathaniel Butler, the State House is open to the public 10am-4pm on Wednesdays only. (10 - 2 May 1 - Oct 31) THE UNFINISHED CHURCH Duke of Kent Street, St. George’s The impressive Gothic vestige that looms over the town of St. George’s was begun in 1870 as a replacement for St. Peter’s, which had fallen into a state of serious

disrepair. Designed by William Hay, the Scottish-born architect who later drew the plans for Hamilton’s cathedral, the St. George’s church was abandoned in 1899 when near completion. FORT ST. CATHERINE St. Catherine’s Point, St. George’s Fort St. Catherine stands on the site of one of the four towers that Governor Richard Moore erected along Bermuda’s coast around 1613.

CARTER HOUSE Southside Road, St. David’s Carter House was probably built in the 1720s by John Hayward and his wife Martha, reputedly a descendant of Christopher Carter, one of the two Sea Venture survivors who stayed behind when the vessel’s other passengers continued on to Virginia in 1610. Acquired by the St. David’s Historical Society, this small house with its unusual ‘welcoming arm’ stairs has been converted into a museum that commemorates the pre-war agrarian traditions of St. David’s. Open Saturday 10:00am-4:00pm. ST. DAVID’S LIGHTHOUSE Mount Hill, St. David’s Constructed of Bermuda stone, this 55-foot structure is one of two local lighthouses.

Open 9-4, Mon-Fri from Nov - Mar. Admission is free. CRYSTAL CAVES & FANTASY CAVES Wilkinson Avenue, Bailey’s Bay Two young boys discovered this magical underground world comprising stalactites, stalagmites and a clear, fifty-five foot deep lake by accident in 1905.

IN & ON THE WATER

MEET COOPER! As the only male dolphin at Dolphin Quest Bermuda, Cooper is quite a special dolphin. Cooper was born on April 1, 2010, and has since captivated guests and trainers with his handsome looks and his playful disposition. Cooper is frequently called the silver bullet in reference to his blonde (light) grey coloration, distinctive yellow “lips” along his rostrum and the speed at which he swims when playing. At a little over 200 pounds, Cooper is the largest of the three DQB calves. A very playful dolphin, his favorite toy to play with is a basketball or any similar sized ball for that matter! He can frequently be found either batting the ball with his rostrum or attempting to float on the ball by balancing it between his pectoral flippers. Cooper loves to be surprised and enjoys learning when working with the trainers. Along with all of Cooper’s husbandry behaviors, such as getting his teeth brushed or laying still for a checkup, Cooper shows great excitement when learning his new “high five”. A trainer will ask Cooper to touch his rostrum on a hand placed above his head so his flippers are out of the water and then gradually bring him to move his flipper forward to the trainers’ extended hand in a “high five”! Trainers and guests are looking forward to teaching him more behaviors as he thoroughly enjoys the challenge!
