The Story of Bermuda and Her People Third Edition

Bermuda’s story begins 400 years ago when the thankful survivors of the Sea Venture , staggered ashore to form the basis of the first settlement. This book chronicles the lives of the Bermudian people through the excitement of ships and salt, from privateers and blockade-running in the earlier days to the more sedate present-day occupations of one of the world’s most attractive tourist and business centres. Of major importance has been the island’s unique geographical position which has more than once made Bermuda a place of great strategic value in the broad sweep of world history.
