We’re approaching that time of year when hurricanes start their transatlantic dances, and we wish they would land anywhere but in Bermuda. Preparing our outdoor areas is crucial even if it’s the last thing we feel like doing in the leaden, moist heat that tells us a storm is nearing our island. ...

While many visitors come to our island to enjoy the unique lushness of the Bermudian landscape, most of us know that the vast majority of our trees and plants consists of “foreigners,” species introduced from countries all over the world. Oleander, for example, first arrived from Charleston in 1790, thanks to a Mr. Lightbourn in Paget; bougainvillea arrived in 1874, possibly from Gibraltar, and the Indian rubber tree came from Asia at the request of Governor Turner’s wife.
Thanks to botanists both amateur and professional, plant specimens have been sent out of Bermuda to be carefully dried, stored and labeled in herbariums in Europe and North America since the 17th century. Herbariums housing Bermuda collections include those in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in Lond...

“Catastrophe modelling” is a phrase heard more commonly in Bermuda than in many communities around the world. Not surprising, given that this country’s flagship industry is reinsurance, with a particular focus on natural disaster coverage. While many of us are familiar with the phrase, what exactly is “cat” modelling and how does it work?

The notion of Bermudians having anything to do with piracy in the 17th and 18th Centuries is heresy to some historians. But the proof of the proverbial pudding lies in the Bermuda Archives and the Bermuda Library; chronicled there is a flamboyant period in which, although Bermuda never became a base for piracy, it certainly came very close. Notably, the Island was an important centre for the issuing of general amnesties called “Acts of Pardon,” which forgave pirates for notorious past deeds — provided they subsequently walked the path of “honest citizens.”

The Sago Palm, well-known to Bermudians, is a representative of the most primitive family of flowering plants. This plant, with about seventy-five other species, are the only survivors of what was at one time an important part of the vegetation of the earth, reaching their maximum about the end of the Triassic and the beginning of the Jurassic periods.

No matter where a Bermudian may travel to, the questions one receives from strangers are often the same. While it can get frustrating at times to dodge seemingly endless questions about the Bermuda Triangle, there is relief in knowing that the interest shown in our island home by strangers abroad is in direct proportion to how unique and special Bermuda is.

The disaster began, officially, on August 27, 1945 at Chelston in Paget. One cedar tree had died; five more looked unhealthy. Experts had inspected them. Maybe it was the Juniper midge, some said. Maybe the Cedar hopper. Bur nobody was sure.

Read this fascinating 1956 account of seeing some of the treasures Teddy Tucker had found, including the famed Emerald Cross.
"When I first saw the treasure it was spread on a tablecloth in Teddy Tucker's kitchen at Gwelly Hole, Somerset. The gold bars and ingots, the emerald- studded cross and the blackened silver coins lay among other finds, with all but the gold showing the effects of 350 years of immersion in the sea..."
