Fortress Bermuda – Four centuries guarding Britain’s interests overseas
By J. Vitor Tossini - October 14, 20190
Bermuda, the oldest British Overseas Territory, has more than four centuries of shared history with Britain.

This article was submitted to the UK Defence Journal by J. Vitor Tossini. Vitor is a student of International Relations at the Sao Paulo State University. He also explores British imperial and military history and its legacies to the modern world.
Until the Second World War, the territory was widely used by British military forces. During the Cold War, the Americans used it as a central base to patrol the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.

BERMUDA DOCKYARD

One of the most popular tourist destinations on Bermuda is the area's historic Royal Naval Dockyard. Here dock the big cruise ships and you can find a lot of highlights for sightseeing, shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Not to be missed is the Clocktower Mall, the numerous water sports, the FUN ZONE with Snorkel Park Beach, Dolphin Quest and National Museum. So there is something for every visitor. Incidentally, the ferries leave for Hamilton and St. George's from here!

BERMUDA DOCKYARD - SHIP'S CRESTS/BADGES

Following received ~ Note the request for information, you will not be wasting your time as the Bermudians are very interested and proud of their history. Please reply to Deborah Atwood <curator@nmb.bm>

Dear David,
Thank you for your email. Though we do have a number of images of the Ship's Crests in Dockyard in our collection, they are not currently available to view online. However, I was able to find a webpage that does have an online gallery of some of the crests: https://bermudarover.smugmug.com/Bermud ... ps-Crests/
We are in the process of updating our website and are looking into ways in which we can make some of our collections available for online viewing. We are very interested in collecting stories associated with the crests to accompany the images and preserve their history. If any of the sailors would like to share any stories of their time in Bermuda/painting the crests, please let me know.
Best wishes,
Deborah
