Hamilton Harbour, Bermuda
Hamilton Harbour is a natural harbour in Bermuda which serves as the port for the capital, the City of Hamilton. It is an arm of the Great Sound, and forms a tapering wedge shape of water between Paget Parish and the peninsula which forms Pembroke Parish, and upon which the capital sits. The approaches to the harbour are protected by a chain of islands (notably Hinson's, Marshall's, Long, and Hawkins), and by the small Salt Kettle Peninsula. Another island sits inside the Harbour itself, White's Island. The eastern end of the Harbour, the narrow corner of an isosceles triangle, is a small mangrove grown bay used for mooring smaller pleasure boats. History The name ''Hamilton Harbour'' is taken from the City of Hamilton, itself named for the Governor of Bermuda at the time of its 1793 founding, Sir Henry Hamilton. Prior to this, the harbour was known as ''Paget's Port'', taking its name from the parish of Paget to its south (the parish having been named for William Paget, 4t ...
