Royal Naval Dockyard: Bermuda's Historic Fortress and Premier Waterfront Destination

Royal Naval Dockyard: Bermuda s Historic Fortress and Premier Waterfront Destination

After losing access to ports in their former American colonies, the British selected this strategic site as their 'Gibraltar of the West.' Home to the acclaimed Bermuda Maritime Museum, it boasts Bermuda's largest fortifications, including a historic prison, Victorian victualling yard, barracks transformed into a vibrant mall, diverse restaurants, craft markets, a man-made beach, snorkel park, and the island's top water-sports center.

The Keep, a sprawling Georgian-style fortress built from limestone blocks on the dockyard's edge, served as the British navy's base for the 1814 raid on Washington, D.C. It later acted as a vital North Atlantic outpost during both World Wars before being decommissioned in 1951 as too costly. Today, its restored structures—including eight historic buildings, former munitions warehouses, and the stunning Commissioner's House—house engaging shops and museums.

As the fog lifted the frigid city was left shining. ‘The world’s our freezer this time of year,’ Anna said, grabbing half a dozen keta salmon from two massive boxes that held an entire ton of frozen fish outside their workshop. She placed them next to the chop sa
