GATES FORT PARK - ST. GEORGE'S PARISH - BERMUDA
Parc du Fort Gates - Paroisse de St. George's - Bermudes
Coordonnées GPS: 32°22'45.0N 64°39'47.1W
Ce fort, construit vers 1612, est situé au bout de la Cut Road à St. George, juste à la sortie d'un canal créé pour permettre aux navires d'entrer dans le port.
Il a évidemment été érigé pour protéger le secteur afin qu'aucun navire ennemi n'entre dans ce port.
En 1790, le fort a subi des transformations et on y a ajouté quatre canons. Aujourd'hui, deux des canons sont encore sur place.
Au cours des années 1800, les soldats ont utilisé ce fort comme leur caserne.
Par la suite, il a été utilisé comme résidence principale par une famille locale et puis il a été remis au gouvernement.

Bermuda-Fun in the Sun
On our 27th anniversary we decided to spend a few days in beautiful Bermuda. Its a gorgeous island with friendly natives, breathtaking pink sand beaches and lots of history with over 400 shipwrecks. St. George's, founded in 1612, where we stayed on the Eastern tip of the island is also a World Heritage Site. We only made one dive due to rough seas, but we'll be back for sure. We had a memorable time here!

St. Catherine's Beach, Bermuda - Gates Bay (2003)
Bermuda, also referred to in legal documents as, fully, the Bermudas or Somers Isles, is a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean, located off the east coast of North America. Its nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, United States, about 1,030 kilometres (640 mi) to the west-northwest. It is about 1,239 kilometres (770 mi) south of Cape Sable Island, Canada, and 1,538 kilometres (956 mi) north of Puerto Rico. Its capital city is Hamilton.
The first known European explorer to reach Bermuda was Spanish sea captain Juan de Bermúdez in 1503, after whom the islands are named. He claimed the apparently uninhabited islands for the Spanish Empire. Paying two visits to the archipelago, Bermúdez landed on the islands inscribing his name into Portuguese Rock (previously Spanish Rock). Subsequent Spanish or other European parties are believed to have released pigs there, which had become feral and abundant on the island by the time European settlement began. In 1609, the English Virginia Company, which had established Virginia and Jamestown on the North American continent two years earlier, established a settlement. It was founded in the aftermath of a hurricane, when the crew of the sinking Sea Venture steered the ship onto the reef so they could get ashore.
The island was administered as an extension of Virginia by the Company until 1614, when its successor, the Somers Isles Company, took over and managed it until 1684. At that time, the company's charter was revoked, and the English Crown took over administration. The islands became a British colony following the 1707 unification of the parliaments of Scotland and England, which created the Kingdom of Great Britain. After 1949, when Newfoundland became part of Canada, Bermuda was automatically ranked as the oldest remaining British Overseas Territory. Since the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997, it is the most populous Territory. Its first capital, St. George's, was established in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the New World.
Bermuda's economy is based on offshore insurance and reinsurance, and tourism, the two largest economic sectors. Bermuda had one of the world's highest GDP per capita for most of the 20th century and several years beyond. Recently, its economic status has been affected by the global recession. It has a subtropical climate. Bermuda is the northernmost point of the Bermuda Triangle, a region of sea in which, according to legend, a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared under supposedly unexplained or mysterious circumstances. The island is in the hurricane belt and prone to severe weather. However, it is somewhat protected from the full force of a hurricane by the coral reef that surrounds the island.
