Wishing to be there

Jamestown and Bermuda: Virginia Company Colonies. Bermuda, settled in 1609 as the result of a shipwreck that inspired Shakespeare’s The Tempest, is the focus of a 400th-anniversary exhibition that also explores governmental, religious and trade connections between England’s second permanent colony in the New World and its first – Jamestown, Virginia, founded in 1607. The exhibition illuminates Bermuda’s unique character: strategic location and historic stone forts; extraordinary importance of sports and recreation; and land and seascapes immortalized by internationally renowned artists, leading to Bermuda’s rise in the 20th century as a premier travel destination.

Did anyone catch the Tall ships this year? Last port was Boston last week.

But Bermuda had their 400th anniversary this year.

Sadly no...I missed the ships due to work conflicts :-( T'was a sad day indeed....

I saw the ships as they left Charleston, SC. It was more by luck than plan. We had planned a family vacation there and arrived the day they were leaving and went to the beach to see them go.

If I had realized it was that weekend, I would have come earlier!

Do'h!
