moreThe Bermudian shipbuilding industry was an important part of the local economy, and made a particular international contribution to trade and maritime design during the 18th century. Whilst its importance has long been recognized by historians, little archaeological attention has hitherto been paid to the extant remains. This paper describes archaeological survey of two shipbuilding sites, undertaken in 2004 and 2006. The project found that extensive remains of Bermuda’s important shipbuilding industry survive; future directions for research are outlined.
