Bermuda dockyard

These insignia have been left by ships visiting the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. Some of them have been recorded by staff of the Bermuda Maritime Museum, but many are being left to decay and will eventually be lost. Recent alterations to the former Casemates Prison at the Dockyard will also destroy much of the twentieth century archaeology of the prison. Events at the prison in the 1970s had a profound effect on Bermudian history, but sadly no archaeological analysis of the remains of the prison has been undertaken.

Discussion of some of these issues can be found on our Archaeology in Bermuda blog.
