The Royal Naval Dockyard at the tip of Ireland Island is a magnificent preservation of British history and dates back to 1809 when the land was purchased to build it. It is easily accessible by bus or ferry and is a major tourist attraction in the West End It was the largest British naval facility outside the United Kingdom --all forts built in Bermuda in the 1800s were built to protect this important naval installation.
The magnificent buildings now house a shopping mall, a craft market, an arts centre and restaurants. The Bermuda Maritime Museum occupies the Dockyard keep and has many interesting exhibits, which interpret the Royal Naval Dockyard and the fortifications and weapons, which protect it. Towering over the Keep is Commissioner’s House, a massive building dating back to 1825 as the first house ever to be built with a pre-fabricated cast and wrought iron structural framework. The award-winning restoration project has space devoted to a variety of exhibitions exploring Bermuda’s cultural connections, local slavery, military history and features rare collections of paintings, maps and coins. The verandah offers panoramic views of Dockyard and Bermuda.
