Shipwreck Central St. George - Gorgeous and Historic Hamilton - The Gibraltar of the West

The Gibraltar of the West

In 1918 the USS Cyclops - a heavily armed naval frigate - disappeared without a trace. In 1945 Flight 19, a transport aircraft, vanished from all detection in an instant on a seemingly clear December afternoon. Legend has built up around these and other such incidents - and in Royal Navy Dockyard the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle awaits you. Learn about the only place on the globe where an armed force was amassed that had the mission of storming - and burning - Washington. Relive the construction of the Royal Naval Shipyard soon after American Independence and then explore charming boutiques and restaurants. Discover local artisans and galleries filled with new and unique works of sculpture, painting, experimental textile wall hangings and more traditional watercolours of the country’s landscape. At Royal Navy Dockyard, you’ll discover the historical buildings that once housed the world’s most ferocious sea-bound fighting force - now a vibrant heritage site where harbour agents have transformed this naval instillation into a peaceful and artistic achievement.
