Even food, fuel and construction materials have to come from the mainland. For centuries, sailors feared Bermuda and called it the “Isle of Devils” 👹 because its reefs destroyed so many ships. But in 1609, an English ship was caught in a hurricane, forced onto the reefs and the survivors spent months on the islands, with some deciding to stay. To survive without rivers or lakes, Bermudians built their famous white stepped roofs 🏠 to collect rainwater. Later, Bermuda became a British colony 🇬🇧 made money from privateering ⚓ and eventually transformed into a major offshore financial center💰 Today, Bermuda is one of the world’s biggest reinsurance hubs, insurance for insurance companies, especially important in a hurricane-prone region🌪️ #bermuda #bermudatriangle #atlanticocean #islands #hurricanes #pirates #ship #britishhistory #history #geography #maps #borders #learn Sun, 24 May 2026 22:11:54 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.blueben.net https://tube.blueben.net/client/assets/images/icons/icon-96x96.png https://tube.blueben.net/videos/watch/bba61cbc-917a-4024-ae5e-3c020c8acd06 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.blueben.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
