Photos of Bermuda
Photos from a business trip to Bermuda in October, 2007On the last day that I was in Bermuda, I went to the Bermuda Maritime Museum. I took a ferry from Hamilton which cut across the Great Sound instead of having to take a bus the long way around. (I assume there was a bus I didn't check.)

Here are some photos as the ferry pulled into the landing:

Here are some photos near the Bermuda Maritime Museum:
This was constructed during the reign of Queen Victoria.
This is the inner face of the gate, and above the pedestrian gate (the doorway on the right) is a stone with the construction date in Roman numerals.
This was built by convict labor and local artisans, supervised by the Royal Engineers.
It was built in a "bombproof" style. See the blank window openings in the top storey?
This part of the building is filled with over ten feet of sand and rubble supported by thick arched brick vaulting carefully laid in a method known as Royal Engineers Brickwork.
This was designed to protect the building from mortar fire, and was called a "Casemate."
This is the area concerned with the storage, preparation and packaging of food and drink for the fleet.
Straight ahead where the gate and the umbrella are, is the Frog & Onion Pub
This is the view from outside the Victualing Yard.
The pub is located in what used to be the Cooperage.
The door to the right is a gift shop

Then I got back on the ferry and headed back to Hamilton:
