Bermuda

Bermuda is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. Bermuda is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory. Bermuda's first capital, St George's, was settled in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the Americas. Bermuda was officially discovered in 1503 by a Spanish explorer, Juan de Bermúdez.

Located off the east coast of the United States, Bermuda's nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 640 miles to the west-northwest. Bermuda's capital city is Hamilton (where we'll be berthed). The population of Bermuda is just over 67,000. Bermuda has a very affluent economy, with finance as its largest sector followed by tourism, giving it the world's highest GDP per capita in 2005.
