What To Expect

“This statue stands at the intersection of history, myth, and memory—where a hurricane, a shipwreck, and an unexpected landing changed the course of Bermuda’s story forever.” The bronze statue of Sir George Somers on Ordnance Island commemorates the English admiral whose flagship, the Sea Venture, was wrecked on Bermuda’s reefs during a violent storm in 1609. What began as catastrophe became the catalyst for Bermuda’s permanent settlement and the founding of St. George’s.

Globe Museum & Trustworthy Gift Shop

“At the Globe Museum, Bermuda’s origin story unfolds through images of survival, exploration, and the sea that shaped the island’s destiny.” Located in the heart of historic Globe Museum, this remarkable collection invites visitors to step back to the dramatic events of 1609, when the wreck of the Sea Venture changed the course of Atlantic history forever. Through vivid paintings depicting the shipwrecked survivors and their first encounters with Bermuda, the museum transforms a historical event into a deeply human story of uncertainty, resilience, and discovery.
