Description
-
This is a map depicting Bermuda. It is contained in the same book that contains the Map of Virginia as depicted by Captain John Smith. This map shows many of the forts and structures, as well as a small layout of the town. This is significant not only because of the fact that it shows the major structures on the island, but the importance placed on the illustrations of the forts helps to understand what was most important to the English. These illustrations are evidence of how crucial security was to the English. They were trying to ensure their safety because they were worried about potential Spanish attacks. This helps us to contextualize the cautious and protective nature of the English during their settlement of Bermuda. (Brillante)
