EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tranquil beauty and rich history of St. George's Parish in Bermuda, where the grave of Sir George Somers, an English naval hero, is located. The image shows an overgrown bench in front of a monument, adorned with a plaque and an inscription, marking the final resting place of Sir George's heart. Sir George Somers (1554-1610), an accomplished naval commander and explorer, is remembered today as the founder of the English colony of Bermuda, also known in the 17th century as the Somers Isles. Although his body was returned to England for burial at Whitchurch, Dorset, his heart was left behind in the land he helped establish. The grave, surrounded by lush greenery, stands as a testament to Sir George's significant contribution to Bermuda's history. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to reflect on the island's fascinating past and the legacy of its founding father.
