St George's, Bermuda
Wander back in time through the Town of St. George, the oldest continuously occupied British settlement in the New World. British sailors shipwrecked here in 1609 while travelling to Jamestown, Virginia. Jamestown was later abandoned, but St. George's has lived on for more than 400 years. The town, a number of forts, and historic sites around it are a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll find picturesque cottages, quaint lanes and narrow alleyways scattered around King's Square. Notable sights include the Bermuda Old State House from 1620, the Old Rectory from 1699 and St. Peter's Church, Their Majesties Chappell, one of the oldest churches in the Western Hemisphere.
Historic Town of St. George, Bermuda
Our walk through the historic Town of St. George, Bermuda, starts on Water Street, a popular shopping and dining area of the old town which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In King's Square we can see the Town Hall with its ducking stool. Crossing to Ordinance Island we discover a replica of the Deliverance. The pilot vessel St. David is also tied up at the island. Next we get a sight of the Spirit of St. George, a catamaran tender that takes Norwegian Cruise Line visitors between the West End Cruise Terminal and the old town. We then proceed to the State House, which was Bermuda's first legislature and dates from 1620. Our stroll takes us to the East end of Water Street and then on to the monument to Admiral Sir George Somers who is responsible for the island's settlement. Our stroll then takes us through the narrow alleys of St. George where we can see the tower of the Catholic Stella Maris Church rising up above the white washed roofs of the charming cottages. We pass the Lili Perfumery and explore more alleys before arriving at St. Peter's Anglican Church. It was established in 1612 and it is the oldest Protestant church in continuous use in the New World. The walk ends in the church yard with its blooms of bougainvillea and fragrant frangipani.

1960s BERMUDA TRAVELOGUE 76764
Made in the 1960s, this travelogue of Bermuda, the British Crown Colony, shows it at a moment in time just before the jet airplane made the islands a gigantic tourist mecca. The film emphasizes Bermuda's beaches, tourist industry, golf courses, sport fishing, sailing, resorts and its lack of crowds and roads. A primitive form of snorkeling wearing a hard hat helmet is seen at the 6 minute mark. Calypso drummers are seen at the 7 minute mark.
Bermuda 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 never landed on the islands, but did create a recognisable map of the archipelago. Shipwrecked Portuguese mariners are now thought to have been responsible for the 1543 inscription in Portuguese Rock (previously called Spanish Rock).
The island was administered as an extension of Virginia by the Company until 1614. Its spin-off, the Somers Isles Company, took over in 1615 and managed the colony 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.

Peppercorn Ceremony, 2016 News
The most important person we've got coming is the Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. This, from past Master of the Lodge of St. George's, Martin Weekes in relation to this year's Peppercorn Ceremony.
This year will mark the bicentennial (200th) celebration of the tradition of paying one peppercorn for the rent of the old state house.
Visitors and attendees to the event can expect the march of the Royal Bermuda Regiment and its band, the state visit from the Governor and the mayor of St. George's Garden Party.
From a Masonic point of view, we've got a whole week of activities... We're trying to sell Bermuda, we're trying to sell St. Georges and we're obviously trying to sell the Peppercorn Ceremony, says Weekes.

Das Traumschiff (The Dream Ship) is a German television series that first aired in 1981 on ZDF. It would become one of the most-watched television shows in Germany and continues to air new episodes. Part soap opera, part drama, part travelogue – the premise is quite similar to The Love Boat with typically three independent storylines involving guests onboard and the crew working to provide the all-important happy ending. The ships traveled the world docking at exotic ports including Tahiti, the United States, Bermuda, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia.
From 1981 to 1984 first twelve episodes were filmed on two ships from Norwegian American Cruises the Vistafjord (1981-1982) and the Astor (1983-1984). In 1986, the Berlin (FTI Group) was used until 1999 when the MS Deutschland (Peter Deilmann Shipping Company) took over. In 2015, a new ship, the Amadea (Phoenix Reisen) was used as the backdrop for the series.
The Bermuda episode originally aired December 26, 2001 and features:
• Heide Keller as Beatrice von Ledebur, Cruise Director
• Siegfried Rauch as Jakob Paulsen, Captain
• Horst Naumann as Dr. Horst Schröder, Ship Doctor

Les Bermudes, jour 3 partie 3: La magnifique ville de Saint George's (Bermudes 2014)
Occupant une position stratégique entre l’Amérique et l’Europe, les Bermudes ont été colonisé par les Anglais dès le début du 17ième siècle. C’est aux alentours de 1609 qu’un navire de colon se dirigeant en Virginie s’échoua sur l’île St-George. Devant reconstruire un nouveau navire pour continuer leur route, ils décidèrent de laisser 3 hommes derrière eux avant de repartir pour les colonies britanniques. 3 ans plus tard, c’est 60 colons en provenance de Virginie qui arrivèrent pour fonder avec les 3 colons initiaux, un établissement permettant de protéger les navires en en cas de mauvais temps.
Avec le temps, le village devint une ville, et la ville en devint une de haute importance, jusqu’à devenir, en l’an 2000, un joyaux du patrimoine mondiale de l’UNESCO. Aujourd’hui, la ville compte de nombreux sites historiques, comme la Old State House, le premier bâtiment de pierre construit aux Bermudes, en 1620, et qui accueillit jusqu’en 1815, le parlement des Bermudes. On retrouve aussi la Saint Peter’s Church, la plus ancienne église anglicane d’Amériques…. Sinon, bien c’est ici qu’on retrouve les plus vieilles fortifications du nouveau monde, des tours de garde et des places fortes qui servaient à préserver les Bermudes des attaques de Pirate et des Espagnoles… Bref, un vrai petit bijou de notre histoire...

Goslings Rum: Dark 'n Stormy®
Over the years Black Seal® Rum has become synonymous with Bermuda. It is an essential ingredient in Bermuda fish chowder, adds the island flavor to the Bermuda Rum Swizzle, and is the tempest in Bermuda's favorite cocktail the Dark 'n Stormy®. Rum
A family Rum business for over two centuries, Gosling's Rum is Bermuda's oldest Rum business house, and is the largest exporter of a Bermuda-Rum made product.
Gosling's Black Seal Rum - The Spirit of Bermuda.
The history of Black Seal Rum® and the Gosling family began long ago. In the spring of 1806 James Gosling, the oldest son of William Gosling, wine and spirits merchant, set out from England on the ship, Mercury, with £10,000 of merchandise, bound for America. Rum
After ninety-one desperate days on a becalmed sea their charter ran out, and they put in at the nearest port, St. George's, Bermuda. Rather than pressing on for America, James opened a shop on the King's Parade, St. George's in December 1806. - Rum
In 1824 James returned to England and his brother Ambrose rented a shop on Front Street in the new Capitol of Hamilton for £25 a year. The Gosling's have maintained a store at this location for 127 years. -Rum
In 1857 the firm was renamed Gosling Brothers by Ambrose's sons - Rum. Three years later the first oak barrels of rum distillate arrived in Bermuda. Three years later, after much trial and error, the distinctive Bermuda black rum destined to be Black Seal was formulated and offered for Rum sale. They didn't call it Black Seal at first. In fact, up until the First World War it was only sold from the Rum barrel, and most folks brought in their own bottles for a fill up. Eventually the black rum was sold in champagne bottles, reclaimed from the British Officer's Mess, and the corks sealed with black sealing wax.
Pretty soon people began to ask for the Black Seal Rum. Many years later the idea of the little, barrel juggling Black Seal Rum was born.
Over the years Black Seal Rumhas become synonymous with Bermuda. Rum It is the essential additive to Bermuda fish chowder, adds the island touch to Bermuda Rum Swizzle, and is the tempest in Bermuda's favorite cocktail -- the Dark 'n Stormy®.
A family Rum business for over two centuries Gosling's Rum is today the only company that blends and bottles in Bermuda, and is the largest exporter of a Bermuda Rum made product.
...Is the story of the New World. On his second journey in 1493, Christopher Columbus brought the first sugar cane to the Caribbean. Cane was grown to meet the burgeoning demand for sugar in Europe. Sugar, and eventually rum, would figure dramatically in the trade between the old world and the new.
Sugar and the sugar economy of the West Indies would ruin men and make men rich, would send governments to war, foster privateering and piracy, and would give rise to the infamous Triangular Trade, so called because of the shape of the three legs of the journey. The first was from Europe to Africa where goods were exchanged for slaves. The second, or the 'middle passage' was the transportation of slaves to the Americas. The third and final leg of the journey was the transport of goods -- sugar, rum, tobacco and cotton -- from the Americas back to Europe. It was, arguably, the engine that drove the world economy at that time.
The by-product of refining the cane into sugar is molasses, and it was the distillation of the molasses that gave the world rum beginning in the 16 th century. Dark, treacly brown molasses mixed with water was fermented into a crude liqueur, and finally distilled into a unique spirit that still retains its mystery and romance.
The romance of rum was no mystery to the founders of Bermuda. In 1609, Sir George Somers, on his way to rescue the withering colony at Jamestown, came dramatically aground on the deserted islands of Bermuda. All survived and many took solace in a dram of celebratory rum, or as it was recorded comfortable waters. Three years later the good ship, Plough, arrived with Bermuda's first true settlers.
In its raw and more potent state the drink first became known as Kill Devil. Seventeenth century detractors described rum as a hot, hellish and terrible liquor. It was said that the drink could light ablaze and provoke rumbustious behavior. No wonder it was soon known as rumbullion. From there it was but a short leap to -- Rum.
For the seafarer rum, less inclined to spoil than fresh water and sturdier than beer, became the drink of choice. Rum was the drink of Buccaneers and old salts, and eventually the official drink of the British Royal Navy. Every ship's purser would dole out a daily tot, an eighth of a pint, for each Tar (as the shipmen were known). Purser's, in seaman's jargon, was reduced to Pusser, just as Boat Swain became Bosun. Today, Pusser's rum is said to emulate the style of rum served on deck.
The Queen visits Bermuda
We all lined up rather excitedly, awaiting the Queen, she was greeted like a rockstar. Recorded on November 25, 2009 using a Flip Video camcorder.
