Bermuda
, also referred to in legal documents as, fully, "
the Bermudas or Somers Isles
", is a
British Overseas Territory
in the North Atlantic Ocean, located off the east coast of
North America
. Its nearest
landmass
is
Cape Hatteras
,
United States
, about 1,030 kilometres (640 mi) to the west-northwest. It is about 1,239 kilometres (770 mi) south of
Cape Sable Island
,
Canada
, and 1,538 kilometres (956 mi) north of
Puerto Rico
. Its
capital city
is
Hamilton
.
The first known European explorer to reach Bermuda was
Spanish
sea captain
Juan de Bermúdez
in 1503, after whom the islands are named. He claimed the apparently uninhabited islands for the
Spanish Empire
. Paying two visits to the archipelago, Bermúdez never landed on the islands, but did create a recognisable map of the archipelago. Shipwrecked Portuguese mariners are now thought to have been responsible for the 1543 inscription in
Portuguese Rock
(previously called
Spanish Rock
). Subsequent Spanish or other European parties are believed to have released pigs there, which had become
feral
and abundant on the island by the time European settlement began. In 1609, the English
Virginia Company
, which had established
Jamestown
in
Virginia
(a term originally applied to all of the
North American
continent) two years earlier, permanently settled Bermuda in the aftermath of a hurricane, when the crew and passengers of the
Sea Venture
steered the ship onto the surrounding reef to prevent its sinking, then landed ashore.
The island was administered as an extension of Virginia by the Company until 1614. Its
spin-off
, the
Somers Isles Company
, took over in 1615 and managed the colony until 1684. At that time, the company's charter was revoked, and the
English Crown
took over administration. The islands became a British colony following the
1707 unification
of the parliaments of Scotland and England, which created the
Kingdom of Great Britain
. After 1949, when
Newfoundland
became part of Canada, Bermuda was automatically ranked as the oldest remaining British Overseas Territory. Since the return of
Hong Kong
to China in 1997, it is the most populous Territory. Its first capital,
St. George's
, was established in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the New World.
Bermuda's economy is based on offshore
insurance
and
reinsurance
, and
tourism
, the two largest
economic sectors
. Bermuda had one of the world's highest
GDP per capita
for most of the 20th century and several years beyond. Recently, its economic status has been affected by the global recession. It has a
subtropical
climate. Bermuda is the northernmost point of the
Bermuda Triangle
, a region of sea in which, according to
legend
, a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared under supposedly unexplained or mysterious circumstances. The island is in the
hurricane belt
and prone to severe weather. However, it is somewhat protected from the full force of a hurricane by the coral reef that surrounds the island.
