Somerset Bridge & The Old Royal Naval Dockyard

by grandmaR - last update: Dec 27, 2004

Bob in 2004 looking at the bridge from the bank
Sandy's Parish is at the other end of Bermuda from St. George's Island.
1963 - Bob near Sandy's Parish bridge
One notable thing in Sandy's is the tiny bridge which allows the mast of a sailboat to pass through. A picture is in a Must See Tip. This is Bob in 1963 on the bridge by the Sandy's Rectoy (Bridge House) which is in an Off the Beaten Path Tip.
Anchors at the dockyard
The last island in Sandy's Parish is Ireland Island. The Royal Dockyard is out there - it wasn't possible to tour it in 1963 when I went there first because it was still in use as a dockyard. But we did go in 1995, and again in 2004..
