| Description: | Select Guide Rating Bermuda has been fortified since it was first occupied by the British in the 17th century, with some 50 forts constructed up to 1945. This new study describes these fortifications in detail and will appeal to the many visitors that come to the islands each year, as well as those interested in Caribbean fortresses. Due to its location in the western North Atlantic some 600 miles off the Carolinas and halfway between Halifax in Canada and Jamaica in the West Indies, the island of Bermuda was a key naval haven for the Royal Navy over the centuries. It was vital for the Navy first in the development of its American colonies, then during its rivalry with the United States, and finally as allies with the United States. |
