Bermudas

The Bermudas is a group of 400 coral islands (five inhabited, Bermuda being the largest) spread in the mid-Atlantic and the North Atlantic Ocean, 677 miles southeast of New York, and about 650 miles (1,046 km) east of the coast of North Carolina, a state in the United States. The islands are situated in the Northern America region. These are named after the Spanish sailor Juan Bermúdez who sighted the islands in 1503.

The islands have a delightful, temperate climate, and are a popular health resort for Americans. They produce a fine arrowroot, and export onions. They are held by Britain as a valuable naval station, and are provided with docks and fortifications.
