Book Description
Bermuda is a British overseas territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It consists of a group of islands with a total land area of 20 square miles. Bermuda is known for its pink sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and a subtropical climate that is pleasant all year round. Bermuda's history is fascinating, with its first inhabitants being the Spanish, who visited the islands in the 16th century. It was later inhabited by British colonizers, who arrived in the early 17th century. Today, Bermuda is a popular tourist destination and has a thriving economy centered around its offshore financial industry, insurance companies, and tourism. Despite its small size, Bermuda has a rich culture, with its own dialect and traditions.

In the Eye of All Trade
Author: Michael J. JarvisPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 0807895881
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 703
Book Description
In an exploration of the oceanic connections of the Atlantic world, Michael J. Jarvis recovers a mariner's view of early America as seen through the eyes of Bermuda's seafarers. The first social history of eighteenth-century Bermuda, this book profiles how one especially intensive maritime community capitalized on its position "in the eye of all trade." Jarvis takes readers aboard small Bermudian sloops and follows white and enslaved sailors as they shuttled cargoes between ports, raked salt, harvested timber, salvaged shipwrecks, hunted whales, captured prizes, and smuggled contraband in an expansive maritime sphere spanning Great Britain's North American and Caribbean colonies. In doing so, he shows how humble sailors and seafaring slaves operating small family-owned vessels were significant but underappreciated agents of Atlantic integration. The American Revolution starkly revealed the extent of British America's integration before 1775 as it shattered interregional links that Bermudians had helped to forge. Reliant on North America for food and customers, Bermudians faced disaster at the conflict's start. A bold act of treason enabled islanders to continue trade with their rebellious neighbors and helped them to survive and even prosper in an Atlantic world at war. Ultimately, however, the creation of the United States ended Bermuda's economic independence and doomed the island's maritime economy.
