Bermuda (
pron.: /bɜrˈmjuːdə/), also referred to as
the Bermudas or the
Somers Isles,
[4][5][6][7] is a
British overseas territory in the
North Atlantic Ocean. Located off the
east coast of the United States, its nearest
landmass is
Cape Hatteras,
North Carolina, about 1,030 kilometres (640 mi) to the west-northwest. It is about 1,239 kilometres (770 mi) south of
Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia and 1,770 kilometres (1,100 mi) northeast of
Miami, Florida,
USA. Its
capital city is
Hamilton.
Bermuda was discovered in 1505 by
Spanish sea captain
Juan de Bermúdez, after whom the islands are named. He claimed the apparently uninhabited islands for the
Spanish Empire. Although he paid two visits to the
archipelago, Bermúdez was persuaded never to set foot on any of the islands by the dangerous
reef surrounding them. Subsequent Spanish or other visitors are believed to have released the
feral pigs that were abundant on the island when settlement began. In 1609, the
Virginia Company, which had established
Virginia and
Jamestown on the American continent two years earlier, established a settlement on behalf of the
English colonial empire. Initially, it was administered as an extension of Virginia by the Company until 1614, before its successor, the
Somers Isles Company, took over until 1684. Bermuda then became a Crown Colony following the
1707 unification of the
Kingdom of Englandwith the
Kingdom of Scotland to create the unified
Kingdom of Great Britain. After Newfoundland became part of
Canada in 1949, Bermuda became the oldest (and, since the return of
Hong Kong to
China in 1997, the most populous) remaining British Overseas Territory. Its first capital,
St George's, was established in 1612 and is the oldest continuously-inhabited English town in the Americas.
[8]
Bermuda's economy is primarily made up of offshore insurance and reinsurance and tourism.
Off-shore finance and
tourism are its two largest
sectors.
[8][9] In 2005, Bermuda claimed to once have the world's highest
GDP per capita, but, as Bermuda is classified as a British Overseas Territory rather than as a
independent country, these statistics are difficult to verify. It has a
subtropical climate.
[10] Bermuda makes up the eastern- and northernmost point of the so-called
Bermuda Triangle, a region of sea in which, according to
urban legend, a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared under supposedly unexplained or mysterious circumstances. The island is prone to severe weather, including powerful
hurricanes. These have, at times, led to widespread power outages.
Geography
Bermuda is a group of low-lying islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, near the western edge of the
Sargasso Sea, roughly 580
nautical miles(1070 km, 670 mi) east-southeast of
Cape Hatteras on the
Outer Banks of
North Carolina and roughly 590 nautical miles (1100 km, 690 mi) southeast of
Martha's Vineyard. It is 898.2 nautical miles (1663.5 km, 1033.7 mi) from
Miami,
Florida, 667.374 nautical miles (1235.976 km, 768 mi) from
Cape Sable Island, in
Nova Scotia,
Canada. The island lies due east of
Fripp Island,
South Carolina. It has 103 km (64 mi) of coastline. There are two
incorporated municipalities in Bermuda: the
City of Hamilton and the
Town of St George. Bermuda is divided into nine parishes, in which there are some localities called villages, such as
Flatts Village and
Somerset Village.
Although usually referred to in the singular, the territory consists of 181 islands, with a total area of 53.3 square kilometres (20.6 sq mi). The largest island is
Main Island, sometimes itself called
Bermuda. Compiling a list of the islands is often complicated, as many have more than one name (as does the entire archipelago, which has also been known historically as
La Garza,
Virgineola, and the
Isle of Devils. Somers Isles is often rendered "Somers Islands", or mistaken for "Summer Isles"). Despite its small land mass, there has been a tendency for place names to be repeated; there are, for example, two islands named
Long Island, three bays named
Long Bay (on Somerset, Main, and Cooper's Islands), two Horseshoe Bays (one in Warwick, on the Main Island, the other at Morgan's Point, formerly Tucker's Island), there are two roads through cuttings called
Khyber Pass (one in Warwick, the other in St. George's Parish), and
St George's Town is located on
St George's Island within
St George's Parish (each known as
St George's), and there is a parish of
Hamilton in addition to the City of Hamilton (which is in the parish of
Pembroke).
